Fort Lauderdale, Florida, August 7, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Elithea Sciences, a leading provider of drug confirmation testing, toxicology and analytical services has entered into an agreement to distribute UR Code urine marker product in the U.S from Marker Test Diagnostics, Inc., a leading international supplier to the drug testing industry.
UR Code is a urine marker that “bar-codes” a subject’s urine and eliminates the need to supervise urine collection. In the form of a soft gel capsule, UR Code is the only patented test worldwide that can analytically detect sample substitution, dilution or adulteration, resulting in unparalleled accuracy and reliability. This superior level of accuracy eliminates up to 30% of the tests that are deliberately falsified in urine drug testing.
"Marker Test's break-through innovation in drug testing is the perfect complement to Elithea's subscription recurring revenue-based business model and specialized focus on chronic pain management," stated Mac Brown, Chief Executive Officer of Elithea Sciences. "Through this partnership with Marker Test, Elithea is offering an investment opportunity in the only solution in the urine drug testing market that virtually assures 100% accuracy and reliability in sample collection, resulting in dramatically-improved patient care."

The agreement provides Elithea Sciences with a distinct competitive advantage to improve confirmation testing results to physicians and clinics in chronic pain management markets Florida and Texas. In addition, Elithea has the right of first refusal from Marker Test for six additional states: Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and West Virginia. The companies plan to commercialize the product before the end of the summer.
“Marker Test believes partnering with Elithea Sciences will be the first step in changing the culture of the drug testing industry in the United States,” said Marker Test Chief Executive Officer Kim Christensen. “Marker Test has listened to important segments of the industry and recognize that eliminating the observed urine collection process is a major accomplishment in improving the overall integrity and quality of the urine sample, while returning dignity and respect to the sample donor. Elithea Sciences now has an exclusive tool to eliminate the false negative urine known as the ‘substituted sample.’”
“Marker Test’s break-through innovation in drug testing is the perfect complement to Elithea’s subscription recurring revenue-based business model and specialized focus on chronic pain management,” stated Mac Brown, Chief Executive Officer of Elithea Sciences. “Through this partnership with Marker Test, Elithea is offering an investment opportunity in the only solution in the urine drug testing market that virtually assures 100% accuracy and reliability in sample collection, resulting in dramatically-improved patient care.”
