Norway Award winning 'Safety at Sea' services on show at Nor-Shipping 2009, Oslo 9th-12th June
(NewDesignWorld Press Release Center) -- The leading Maritime Event week, Nor-Shipping 2009 in Oslo will be the first opportunity to discuss Concateno's top accredited products and services since its Benzene test won runner-up in Seatrade's Safety at Sea awards last month. At the awards, the BBC journalist Tim Sebastian called the test "a significant contribution to safety in the maritime industry" and highlighted "it has the great advantage of providing a simple way to manage the risk of exposure to benzene."
Members of Concateno's maritime team - the most experienced in the field of drugs and alcohol test services - will be able to advise visitors on all aspects of testing from implementation through to education and training. Our global support network includes a programme management system that tracks shipping schedules to assist Concateno collectors to ensure each vessel in a fleet has the appropriate tests completed within a 12 month cycle.
Find out more by visiting us on Stand E01-18 or contact us to book a place at the next seminar on Benzene exposure tests.

An introduction to Concateno
Concateno brings together the leading drug and alcohol testing organisations in Europe to form a global first in the field: a service provider with the facilities and expertise to genuinely deliver test programmes to meet any requirement – from point-of-care instant tests, through to state-of-the-art laboratory analysis for any biological specimen including urine, oral fluids, hair and sweat.
Concateno’s 300 staff support more than 8,000 customers globally, and the group performs approximately eight million tests annually. An integrated network of more than 500 sample collection officers, trained in-house in chain-of-custody procedures, supports clients around the world.
Committed to the highest levels of accreditation and quality assurance, Concateno works actively within the industry to improve existing best practice. This includes ISO 17025 (independently audited by UKAS), ISO9001:2000, Link-Up, and ISO13485:2003. In addition, the company is subject to a range of external and internal quality assurance programmes.
Our strategy
Concateno’s goal is to be the top provider of drug and alcohol testing services in the world, providing the best expertise and testing resources in the field. With our own best-in-class products and facilities that can supply across the whole range of test requirements, our strategy is driven by customer need rather than product benefit.
Concateno has committed significant investment to research and development. Our joint development agreement with Philips (a diversified health and wellbeing company) to develop a new oral fluids system is an example of this commitment.
Excellent pedigree
Concateno is built upon the consolidation of Europe’s strongest and most expert drug testing companies:
Cozart: long-established expertise in oral fluid instant testing (including its pioneering Rapiscan® and DDS® reader devices) and the manufacture of laboratory Reagents and products – largely through its wholly-owned subsidiary Spinreact, headquartered in Spain.
Medscreen: Europe’s most experienced workplace testing company with a 20 year track record in providing legally defensible urine testing to employees and the UK government
Altrix Healthcare: largest provider of oral fluids drugs of abuse laboratory testing to the UK healthcare market. Complemented with a blood-borne virus testing service and range of support services focused on client treatment needs
TrichoTech: Europe’s largest hair testing laboratory with unrivalled knowledge and expertise
Euromed: supplies a comprehensive range of point-of-collection testing devices with a proven track record on quality assurance and technical support, underscored by its long-standing contract with HM Prison Service.
