Greener Pastures for Trimega in Manchester

LONDON, November 3, 2010 - Trimega Laboratories is looking to rapidly expand its Local Government
business, having achieved ISO 14001 certification for its Manchester-based
substance abuse testing facilities.

The ISO 14001 standard, which is used by organisations to design and
implement an effective environmental management system, is now often a
pre-requisite for Local Authorities in the tendering process for new
suppliers.

Trimega Laboratories is one of a very small number of specialist
companies in the UK that test hair samples for evidence of alcohol or drug
abuse. The vast majority of circumstances in which people are required to
undergo a hair strand test in the UK are when a child care application is
made to a Family Court by one of the UK's 152 Local Authorities. As such
Local Authorities and law firms from all over the UK send samples to be
tested at Trimega's new state-of-the-art facility at Hexagon Tower in
Blackley.

Avi Lasarow, CEO of Trimega Laboratories, commented:

"Not only does this strengthen the overall Trimega brand credentials but
it also firmly raises the bar in the sector and is another step in showcasing
Manchester as a bio-technology hub. This signals a challenge to other testing
laboratories to follow suit and contribute to a better environment. In the
meantime, as the only substance abuse testing company to hold this
accreditation, we look forward to helping many more Local Authorities as a
direct result."
