Our Head of R&D and Method Development, Mário Barroso, is in New York City for the final day of the 30th Annual Scientific Meeting of the Society of Hair Testing (#SoHT). Mario sits on the SoHT Administration Board and has been representing AlphaBiolabs at what is one of the most important gatherings in forensic toxicology. Few conferences bring together the breadth of expertise that SoHT does, with two days of research, innovation, and knowledge exchange from toxicology experts across the globe, all in one of the world's most dynamic cities. A highlight of this year's meeting is the sign-off of the newly reviewed Alcohol Markers Consensus Document, co-drafted by an expert working group that included Mario. The document sets the standard for international best practice in hair strand alcohol biomarker testing. Getting it across the line matters, as courts, solicitors, and social workers rely on hair strand alcohol testing to make some of the most consequential decisions in child welfare proceedings. We're proud to be playing an active role in shaping the future of the field. #SoHT2026 #HairTesting #ForensicToxicology #AlphaBiolabs #AlcoholTesting #FamilyLaw

Parental alcohol misuse sits at the heart of some of the most difficult child welfare cases practitioners handle. In 2023, 10,473 alcohol-specific deaths were registered in the UK, the highest number on record. And an estimated 478,000 children are living with an alcohol or drug dependent parent. Where alcohol misuse is suspected, the evidence must be watertight. Our latest blog covers the full range of court-admissible alcohol testing options available – and there are many more options than family law professionals and social workers realise.

Cut-off levels tell you whether a substance is present above a scientifically established threshold. Expert interpretation tells you what that means in context. At AlphaBiolabs, we provide both, ensuring every test report offers the complete evidential picture.

As part of our ongoing charitable initiatives, each month an AlphaBiolabs colleague nominates a cause close to their heart to receive a donation.💙 This month, Diane Thomas has chosen @timeforbeduk. Delivered by End Furniture Poverty, Time for Bed helps children in Merseyside who don’t have a bed of their own. Through referrals from schools and professionals, they provide essential bed bundles – including a bed base or cot, mattress, and bedding – ensuring every child has a safe and comfortable place to sleep. Diane chose this charity for the following reasons: “It’s hard to imagine not having somewhere safe and cosy to sleep every night. And we all know how much a good night’s sleep affects how we feel, how we think, and how we get through each day. That’s why the work of Time for Bed is so important. They’re not just providing beds - they’re giving children the chance to wake up ready, resilient, and able to thrive.” We’re proud to support such an important cause. #AlphaBiolabs #GivingBack #Charity #CSR #Community
