Alcohol Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) and Ethyl Sulphate (EtS) Quantitative Assay Urine Test
Comprehensive Alcohol Detection Testing
The Alcohol Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) and Ethyl Sulphate (EtS) Quantitative Assay represents the gold standard in alcohol consumption detection technology. This advanced urine test utilizes cutting-edge Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methodology to provide unparalleled accuracy in identifying recent alcohol intake. Unlike traditional alcohol tests that measure blood alcohol concentration (BAC), this assay detects specific alcohol metabolites that remain in the body long after alcohol has been eliminated, offering an extended detection window of up to 80 hours post-consumption.
What This Test Measures and Detects
This sophisticated diagnostic test specifically measures two direct metabolites of ethanol:
- Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG): A direct metabolite formed when ethanol conjugates with glucuronic acid in the liver
- Ethyl Sulphate (EtS): Another direct metabolite created through sulfation of ethanol
Both EtG and EtS are non-volatile, water-soluble compounds that are excreted in urine and provide definitive evidence of recent alcohol consumption. The quantitative nature of this assay allows for precise measurement of metabolite concentrations, enabling healthcare providers to assess the timing and extent of alcohol exposure with remarkable accuracy.
Who Should Consider This Test
This advanced alcohol detection test is particularly valuable for:
- Substance Abuse Treatment Programs: Monitoring patients in recovery to ensure compliance with abstinence requirements
- Legal and Forensic Applications: Providing objective evidence in court cases, probation monitoring, and child custody disputes
- Workplace Safety Programs: Screening employees in safety-sensitive positions where alcohol consumption could pose risks
- Medical Monitoring: Patients with liver conditions, those taking medications that interact with alcohol, or individuals in psychiatric care
- Professional Licensing Requirements: Healthcare professionals, pilots, and other licensed individuals subject to sobriety monitoring
Key Benefits of Alcohol EtG/EtS Testing
- Extended Detection Window: Detects alcohol consumption up to 80 hours after intake, significantly longer than traditional methods
- Superior Sensitivity: Identifies even small amounts of alcohol that might be missed by other testing methods
- Definitive Results: Provides conclusive evidence of recent alcohol consumption, eliminating false positives from incidental exposure
- Quantitative Analysis: Offers precise measurement of metabolite levels for better clinical interpretation
- Non-Invasive Collection: Simple urine sample collection without the need for blood draws
- Rapid Turnaround: Results typically available within 24-48 hours of sample receipt
Understanding Your Test Results
Your test results will provide quantitative measurements of both EtG and EtS metabolites. Interpretation typically follows these guidelines:
- Negative Result: EtG levels below 100 ng/mL and EtS levels below 25 ng/mL generally indicate no recent alcohol consumption
- Low Positive: Levels between 100-500 ng/mL for EtG may suggest incidental exposure or consumption several days prior
- Moderate Positive: Concentrations between 500-1,000 ng/mL typically indicate alcohol consumption within the past 24-48 hours
- High Positive: Levels exceeding 1,000 ng/mL strongly suggest recent alcohol consumption, usually within the past 12-24 hours
It’s important to discuss your results with a healthcare provider who can consider your individual circumstances and provide appropriate guidance based on the quantitative findings.
