Business Summary
Psychemedics Corporation is provides testing services for the detection of abused substances through the analysis of hair samples. The Company's testing methods utilize a patented technology for performing immunoassays on enzymatically dissolved hair samples with confirmation testing by mass spectrometry. The Company's first application of its patented technology is a testing service that screens for the presence of certain drugs of abuse in hair. The Company's tests provide quantitative information that indicates the approximate amount of drug ingested as well as historical data which can show a pattern of individual drug use over a period of time. This information is useful to employers in both applicant and employee testing, to physicians, treatment professionals, law enforcement agencies, to the insurance industry; and to parents concerned about drug use by their children and to other individuals and entities engaged in any business where drug use is an issue.
