Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. Selects HASTA Laboratory

as Drug Testing Specialist in Australia

 

New York, NY, March 13, 2023 - Intelligent Bio Solutions Inc. (“Intelligent Bio Solutions” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: INBS), a life sciences company developing and delivering intelligent, non-invasive, real-time testing solutions, today announced that the Company has selected Human and Supplement Testing Australia (“HASTA”), Australia’s largest independent sports drug testing laboratory, as its preferred drug testing specialist in Australia to complete lab-based confirmation testing for its Intelligent Fingerprinting System, which analyzes sweat to screen for recent drug use.

 

The Intelligent Fingerprinting Drug Screening System quickly detects the presence of four drugs and/or their metabolites from fingerprint sweat. The non-invasive system features a small, tamper-evident drug screening cartridge onto which ten fingerprint sweat samples are collected in a process that takes less than a minute and a portable reader that analyzes the cartridge. The rapid test detects combinations of opiates, methamphetamine, cocaine, and the active ingredient in cannabis: delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), in under ten minutes.

 

“Selecting a drug testing laboratory for back-to-lab testing is an integral step for us as we scale our laboratory testing program in Australia,” said Harry Simeonidis, Chief Executive Officer at Intelligent Bio Solutions. “With our revolutionary drug screening system and back-to-lab solution, we can provide the Australian market with a comprehensive drug-testing solution that supports workplace safety and well-being.”
