Using the ETG Cartridge is quick and straightforward:
Remove the cartridge from its sealed pouch and use it as soon as possible.
Using the supplied dropper, collect the urine specimen.
Add three drops of urine into the sample well marked on the cartridge.
Allow the test to develop on a clean, level surface.
Read the results after 5 minutes.
Do not interpret the results after 10 minutes.
Always follow the testing instructions carefully to ensure proper specimen collection and accurate result interpretation
The ETG Cartridge – Ethyl Glucuronide (300 ng/mL) is suitable for:
Workplace alcohol testing
Occupational health programs
Clinical laboratories
Substance abuse monitoring
Rehabilitation and recovery programs
Court-ordered alcohol testing
Legal and forensic investigations
Probation and parole monitoring
Professional alcohol screening programs
Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG) is a direct metabolite of ethyl alcohol (ethanol) that is produced when the body processes alcoholic beverages. Unlike ethanol itself, which is eliminated from the body within a relatively short period, ETG remains detectable in urine for a much longer time. This makes ETG one of the most reliable biomarkers for identifying recent alcohol consumption.
Because ETG is formed only after alcohol has been consumed, its presence in urine provides strong evidence of recent alcohol exposure
Traditional alcohol testing methods, such as breath alcohol analyzers or blood alcohol concentration (BAC) tests, are designed to detect current alcohol levels and are generally effective only for a few hours after drinking.
The ETG Cartridge detects Ethyl Glucuronide, allowing alcohol use to be identified for up to approximately 80 hours after consumption, depending on individual factors. This extended detection window makes ETG testing especially valuable for monitoring alcohol abstinence and recent alcohol use
ETG testing is widely used when it is important to determine whether alcohol has been consumed during the previous few days rather than whether a person is currently intoxicated.
It is commonly used for:
Alcohol abstinence monitoring
Workplace alcohol testing programs
Court-ordered alcohol testing
Rehabilitation and recovery programs
Probation and parole monitoring
Clinical and behavioral health programs
Forensic investigations
The ETG Cartridge – Ethyl Glucuronide (300 ng/mL) offers several advantages for professional alcohol screening:
Detects recent alcohol consumption for up to approximately 80 hours
Rapid results in approximately 5 minutes
300 ng/mL cutoff for reliable screening
Simple cartridge-based testing procedure
Easy-to-read results
No specialized laboratory equipment required
Suitable for routine and high-volume testing
High accuracy and dependable performance
Supports professional workplace, clinical, legal, and forensic testing programs
The ETG Cartridge – Ethyl Glucuronide (300 ng/mL) offers a practical solution for organizations that require dependable detection of recent alcohol use beyond the short detection window of breath or blood alcohol testing. With its rapid 5-minute results, easy cartridge format, and extended detection capability of up to approximately 80 hours, it supports efficient alcohol screening in professional environments where accuracy, speed, and reliability are essential.
For optimal performance:
Store the cartridge according to the recommended storage temperature.
Keep each test sealed in its original pouch until ready for use.
Use the cartridge immediately after opening the pouch.
Do not use the test after its expiration date.
Avoid exposure to excessive heat, humidity, or direct sunlight.
Handle urine specimens using appropriate laboratory safety procedures
The ETG Cartridge – Ethyl Glucuronide (300 ng/mL) is intended to provide preliminary qualitative screening results only.
A positive result indicates recent alcohol exposure but does not determine the amount of alcohol consumed, the exact time of consumption, or whether a person is currently impaired.
A negative result does not completely rule out alcohol consumption, particularly if alcohol intake occurred outside the detection window or ETG levels are below the cutoff concentration.
Detection times may vary depending on individual metabolism, alcohol intake, hydration, and other biological factors.
All preliminary positive results should be confirmed using GC-MS or LC-MS/MS before legal, employment, or administrative decisions are made
The test detects Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG), a direct metabolite of alcohol that remains in urine longer than ethanol itself.
The ETG Cartridge (300 ng/mL) can detect recent alcohol consumption for up to approximately 80 hours, depending on individual factors such as metabolism, hydration, and the amount of alcohol consumed.
Results are available in approximately 5 minutes when the test is performed according to the instructions.
No. The ETG Cartridge is designed to detect recent alcohol consumption, not current intoxication or blood alcohol concentration (BAC).
No. This is a screening test only. Any preliminary positive result should be confirmed using GC-MS or LC-MS/MS before legal or administrative action is taken.
The ETG Cartridge is intended for clinical laboratories, workplace testing programs, rehabilitation centers, probation and parole departments, forensic laboratories, law enforcement agencies, and other professional alcohol screening programs
The ETG Cartridge – Ethyl Glucuronide (300 ng/mL) provides a fast, reliable, and easy-to-use solution for detecting recent alcohol consumption through the identification of Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG) in human urine. Featuring a 300 ng/mL cutoff level, simple cartridge format, and results in approximately 5 minutes, it is well suited for professional alcohol screening where timely and dependable preliminary results are essential.
With the ability to detect alcohol use for up to approximately 80 hours after consumption, the ETG Cartridge offers a significant advantage over traditional breath alcohol testing, making it ideal for workplace testing, rehabilitation programs, court-ordered monitoring, clinical laboratories, and forensic investigations.
As with all rapid immunoassay screening devices, any preliminary positive result should be confirmed using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) or Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) before legal, employment, or administrative decisions are made. The ETG Cartridge – Ethyl Glucuronide (300 ng/mL) is intended for professional and forensic use only and is not intended for medical diagnosis or home use.

Alcohol abstinence monitoring
The ETG Cartridge (300 ng/mL) is capable of detecting recent alcohol consumption for up to approximately 80 hours after drinking.
The actual detection period depends on several factors, including:
Although ETG is often referred to as the "80-hour alcohol test," detection times vary between individuals and should be interpreted by qualified professionals
This ETG Cartridge uses the following screening cutoff:
Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG): 300 ng/mL
Samples at or above this concentration may produce a preliminary positive result and should be confirmed using an appropriate laboratory confirmation method
A colored line appears in both the Control (C) and Test (T) regions. Even if the Test (T) line is faint, the result should be interpreted as negative, indicating that the Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG) concentration is below the 300 ng/mL cutoff level
A colored line appears only in the Control (C) region, while no visible line appears in the Test (T) region. This indicates that the ETG concentration may be at or above the 300 ng/mL screening cutoff.
Because this device provides preliminary screening results only, all positive results should be confirmed using a more specific laboratory method such as Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) or Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) before legal, employment, or administrative decisions are made
If the Control (C) line does not appear, the test is considered invalid, regardless of whether a Test line is visible. An invalid result may occur due to insufficient specimen volume, improper testing procedure, or a defective cartridge.
Repeat the test using a new cartridge and a fresh urine specimen
