EtG (Ethylglucuronide)

ALCOHOL:
MOST ABUSED DRUG,
YET LEAST DETECTABLE.
… UNTIL NOW!

STERLING Reference Laboratories offers a breakthrough test that allows detection for up to 96 hours after ethanol exposure.

Urine Testing for Ethylglucuronide (EtG)

Traditional urine testing for alcohol consumption
is limited to a very narrow window of detection, typically only a few hours, and in diabetics,
is subject to false positives due to spontaneous fermentation of glucose in the specimen.

To efficiently monitor alcohol abstinence, STERLING now offers this outstanding test
with a rapid turnaround time of 2-4 business days. And our EtG test is very competitively priced.

Note:  EtG (Ethylglucuronide) is a sensitive biomarker of ethyl alcohol (EtOH) exposure; a low-level positive EtG could result from sources other than beverage alcohol.

Ethylglucuronide (EtG)
is a precise indicator
of an individual’s recent alcohol exposure. EtG testing utilizes liquid chromatography
with tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS-MS) to detect
the presence of EtG in urine up to 72-96 hours after ingestion. This increased window
of detection is superior
to traditional alcohol testing
and offers a level of confidence previously unavailable.

EtG is NOT present in urine unless alcohol has entered
the body, so false positives
are not likely to occur, nor will EtG be present in the urine
of diabetics who have not consumed alcohol.
