Urine Drug Testing

ARE THEY DRINKING? WE'LL FIND OUT.

AAA now offers ethyl glucuronide (EtG) testing. EtG is a direct metabolite of alcohol (ethanol). Its presence in urine may be used to detect recent alcohol ingestion, even after ethanol is no longer measurable. The presence of EtG in urine is an indicator that alcohol was ingested. EtG is detectable in urine for up to 80 hours after the consumption of alcohol. EtG is only evident when alcohol is ingested and is not produced as a result of fermentation.

AAA utilizes the most sophisticated, sensitive and specific equipment and technology available, LC/MS/MS (liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry), to screen confirm and quantitate EtG. This methodology provides highly accurate results.
