Product Review
Because alcohol is rapidly cleared from the body, detection times in traditional alcohol (ethanol) testing are limited to a few hours after use, posing significant challenges for abstinence monitoring in criminal justice, treatment center, and military settings. By contrast, EtG is a unique biological marker of alcohol use that can be detected up to 3 days after alcohol ingestion.
- This rapid EtG is a immunoassy based rapid urine test that will detect the presence of alcohol up to 3 days after consumption.
- Rapid EtG urine test delivers accurate, reliable results in as little as one minute, at a fraction of the cost of lab-based EtG tests.
- Alcohol is the most commonly abused substance worldwide, but it is also the most difficult to detect via abstinence monitoring where alcohol consumption is prohibited.
- To perform the test, users dip a test strip into a urine sample for 15 seconds. Negative results can emerge within 1 minute, while positive results appear within 5 minutes and remain stable for 2 hours.
- The test is for forensic use only and is intended for use in law enforcement settings.
