Test set up once per week (Thursdays). Turnaround 2-8 days.

Additional Information

Both ethyl glucuronide and ethyl sulfate are markers for detecting recent alcohol consumption. Both are minor ethanol metabolites formed by uridine diphosphate-glucuronosyltransferase and sulfotransferase, respectively, and are excreted in urine for a longer time than ethanol. Positive results thus provide a strong indication that the person has recently consumed alcohol, even when ethanol is no longer detectable.

Positive evidence of recent alcohol consumption is provided by detection of increased urinary concentrations of both metabolites together. The results of this assay will be reported as follows:
 
Ethyl glucuronide result (ng/mL) Ethyl sulfate result (ng/mL) Ethyl glucuronide result reported in APeX Ehtyl sulfate result reported in APeX
