i3collect and Premier Biotech Deepen Strategic Partnership with Launch of Proprietary i3collect Cup and Fully Electronic Point-of-Collection Testing Solution
DENVER, CO and MINNEAPOLIS, MN – i3collect, a trusted innovator in drug and alcohol technology, and Premier Biotech, a leader in rapid diagnostics and technology solutions, today announced a significant expansion of their strategic partnership. This collaboration introduces the i3collect Cup, a rapid urine drug testing device custom-engineered by Premier Biotech and designed to work in tandem with i3collect’s software to provide a fully electronic workflow—from the initial order to the final result, with MRO if needed.
The partnership represents a major shift in the point-of-collection testing (POCT) landscape. By combining i3collect’s digital infrastructure and national collection site network and Premier Biotech’s proprietary Premier Bio-Cup®-based solution and SAMHSA-certified lab, the new offering makes an end-to-end rapid urine testing solution more accessible and compliant than ever before. This move also gives collection sites more flexibility and control through a digital-first approach, providing a powerful alternative to the legacy providers that have historically dominated the market.
A Natural Strategic Fit
“This is a pivotal moment for us as we continue to build on the trusted relationship i3 has shared with Premier Biotech for years,” said Myranda Roys, SVP of i3collect. “Premier is a proven partner, and it is a natural fit for us to continue working together where our goals align. With the rollout of the i3collect cup, we are moving beyond just software to offer a full end-to-end solution. This allows us to compete at the highest level in multiple areas of the industry and ensure our clients have the seamless experience they expect from the i3 and Premier Biotech names.”
Streamlining the Collection Site Experience
By deploying this unified solution, collection sites can eliminate the friction of paper-based reporting and manual data entry. The i3collect software handles logic and compliance, while the i3collect Cup provides reliable, high-quality diagnostic results that have made Premier Biotech an industry leader.
“Our goal has always been to provide the most innovative testing products on the market, and partnering with i3collect to develop their signature cup was a logical evolution of our work together,” said Matt Michalik, CEO of Premier Biotech. “Integrating our manufacturing expertise and SAMHSA-certified lab with i3collect’s leading software and collection site network gives collectors a streamlined, electronic workflow that enhances both speed and accuracy. We are proud to collaborate with i3collect on bringing this complete solution to the broader market.”
This is just the beginning of the two entities’ expanded relationship. Work is already completed for a fully electronic non-regulated collection process and the work for a fully electronic regulated process began months ago and is at the tail end of its development. Additionally, on the heels of the rapid urine cup product, i3collect and Premier Biotech intend to collaborate on instant and lab-based oral fluid, lab-based DOT, and non-DOT testing solutions to introduce through i3’s national collection site network.
