Ethyl Glucuronide, aka EtG is the best way to effectively monitor alcohol abstinence.No one would argue that the number one abused substance in America is alcohol. There are many ways to detect alcohol consumption, and breathalyzers are a wonderful tool in corrections for detecting someone under the influence. However, for those who encourage and monitor abstinence of alcohol, detecting its use after only a few hours had been extremely difficult. Negative breathalyzer readings, and traditional ethanol alcohol tests do not necessarily indicate abstinence. Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) was found to be a direct metabolite of the alcohol (ethanol). EtG has emerged as the marker of choice for alcohol and due to the advances in technologies is now routinely available. Its presence in urine may be used to detect recent alcohol consumption, even after ethanol is no longer measurable using the older methods. The presence of EtG in urine is a definitive indicator that alcohol was ingested. Studies indicate that alcoholics in abstinence have no detectable levels of EtG in their urine after approximately 80 hours of detoxification For the Rapid Forensic Use Only. Not intended to diagnose a medical condition or disease. This instant urine alcohol testing kit is ideal for use anywhere that has a zero tolerance policy for alcohol like alcohol abuse treatment centers, probation offices and workplaces that have a no-alcohol policy.
… to why they should show positive result I would recommend they are not valid to I havenât had a drink since October 2017 itâs been four months at first I didnât think that the test worked I took five of them and none of them seem to be clear to me that I was negative for alcohol as I should be however upon reading all the reviews for other ones out there I noticed that I do have a faint line which I guess some of these do not give a full straight dark line which I was expecting Iâll post a picture to show that it was negative and that this is what youâre looking for I guess
Unreliable Junk! 3 different results – 2 positives with a negative in a middle – Tested negative with a professional test a few hours later.
Unreliable! These are horrible. I havenât had a drink in 4 weeks and yet it shows positive. These canât be trusted. Iâm ordering another brand.
