The cup is sold for Forensic Use and detects twelve 13 drug panels, which are qualitatively analyzed to indicate a positive or negative test result. 13 Panel Rapid Drug Test Cup with EtG Alcohol CLIA Waived is a professional screening device for detecting both illicit drugs and recent alcohol consumption.
Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG)
Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) is a direct biological marker that is formed in the body after the consumption of ethanol from drinking alcoholic beverages. When someone consumes even relatively small amounts of alcohol, EtG is formed and can be detected. EtG may be detectable as soon as 2 hours after use and up to 80 hours past consumption. It is important to note that there are many variables affecting the window of detection.
- Unique biological markers of alcohol use (only alcohol consumed can create EtG)
- Detects recent use
- Longer detection window than the previously recognized urine alcohol test, called ethanol or ETOH
- Longer detection window than breath alcohol
- Highly specific and sensitive to alcohol consumption
EtG is detectable over a period roughly 5-7 times longer than traditional urine ethanol testing.
According to the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence, Inc., alcohol is the most commonly used addictive substance in the U.S., with 1Â in every 12 adults suffering from alcohol abuse or dependence. EtG testing is not used to check for current impairment, but rather screens for ethanol use. EtG and EtS are the only biomarkers recognized as appropriate for abstinence monitoring, based primarily on the time to return to normal levels following abstinence from alcohol.
EtG testing allows for the detection of drinking when individuals look to keep their use a secret. When people with drinking problems know they will be tested, they usually will stop drinking to avoid a penalty. Reduced rates of substance abuse have been reported from organized treatment programs utilizing routine EtG testing programs. Drug courts that use EtG testing also report greatly reduced alcohol abuse rates. EtG testing confirms alcohol abstinence. When alcohol abusers stop drinking, it is often difficult for others to trust that they are not.
Does My Program Need EtG Testing?
EtG testing is particularly useful when testing individuals who should not be drinking alcohol at all. This makes EtG testing a valuable tool for corrections, treatment programs, and other instances, for example;
- Individuals younger than the legal drinking age and members of the Armed Forces in combat zones, where, regardless of age, drinking is prohibited.
- Individuals on probation, including adolescents, who have committed alcohol-related crimes.
- Individuals who have previous alcohol-related problems but have been allowed visitation with or custody of children with the stipulation that these individuals remain abstinent.
- Motorists who have had alcohol-related traffic convictions and who are now required to abstain as a condition of maintaining driving privileges.
- Medical personnel, professionals, attorneys, and others who, because of previous alcohol or drug-related problems, have agreed to maintain total abstinence and accept ongoing monitoring as conditions for continuing their license or employment.

| * Detection times are not guaranteed. This assay provides only a preliminary analytical test result. A more specific alternate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Clinical consideration and professional judgment should be applied to any drug of abuse test result, particularly when preliminary positive results are indicated. | |||
