Specimen Collections

Friends Laboratory offers urine collections and Breath Alcohol Testing on the first floor of our laboratory building in Baltimore. In addition, on-site collections (those outside the laboratory) are available for businesses by pre-arrangement with Friends Customer Service. Collections for individuals outside the Baltimore-Washington Metro area can be arranged using one of our laboratory's referral collection sites across the country. Business and programs requiring supervised collections out-of-state may be serviced by laboratory personnel through pre-arrangement. Please contact us for assistance.
