Who is HASTA?
HASTA is the Australian sports supplement drug testing specialist, a
division of Racing Analytical Services Limited (RASL), Australia’s largest
independent sports drug testing laboratory.
Sports people, from weekend warriors to elite athletes, currently use sports
supplements with no guarantee of the product’s quality or reliability. The
consumption of contaminated supplements has led to drug prosecutions for
some of the world’s most high profile athletes.
HASTA is the first laboratory in Australia to
provide testing and certification of sports
supplements for professional athletes by an
experienced and professional drug testing
company.

The HASTA laboratory is the best resourced laboratory of its type in
Australia. More than $15m has been invested in the most advanced
analytical equipment available to deliver state-of-the-art drug testing services.
The laboratory employs high-resolution mass spectrometry that is capable of
detecting hundreds of different drugs in a single sample with incredible sensitivity.
HASTA employs a highly skilled workforce, expert in all aspects of drug
detection and analysis. The HASTA laboratory is NATA accredited to
ISO/IEC 17025 to deliver services that meet world’s best practice and
quality standards.
