Ethyl Glucuronide/Ethyl Sulfate (EtG/EtS), Screen and Confirmation, Urine

CPT: 80307


Expected Turnaround Time

1 - 4 days

Turnaround time is defined as the usual number of days from the date of pickup of a specimen for testing to when the result is released to the ordering provider. In some cases, additional time should be allowed for additional confirmatory or additional reflex tests. Testing schedules may vary.



Specimen Requirements


Specimen


Volume


Minimum Volume

10 mL (Note: This volume does not allow for repeat testing.)


Container

Plastic urine container. Use evidence tape or tamper-evident container for forensic specimens. Collection kits are available by request from the laboratory.


Collection

Urine temperature monitoring is recommended for samples tested for medicolegal purposes.


Storage Instructions

Maintain specimen at room temperature. If arrival at lab will extend beyond three days, refrigerate.


Test Details


Use

Detect ingestion of ethanol.


Limitations

This test was developed, and its performance characteristics determined, by LabCorp. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).


Methodology

Initial testing by immunoassay (IA); confirmation of positives by mass spectrometry (MS)


Additional Information

Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a direct metabolite of ethanol, which is formed by enzymatic conjugation of ethanol with glucuronic acid. Alcohol in the urine is normally detected for only a few hours versus several days for EtG. EtG, therefore, can be used to monitor compliance programs for abstinence from alcohol.
