Monitor long-term alcohol use and abuse with a hair EtG analysis from ARCpoint Labs.

Hair testing for EtG and EtS metabolites is a very accurate way to determine all recent alcohol use. This alcohol screening method is highly sensitive and can detect alcohol consumption even months after the event. Our labs also provides this unique method of alcohol testing on site with our mobile alcohol testing unit for businesses.

ETG / ETS Alcohol Hair Testing

How does hair alcohol testing work?

The body produces EtG and EtS when alcohol is present in the bloodstream, and these markers are absorbed into the hair structure. A sample of hair is cut and analyzed for alcohol markers.

The EtG hair follicle alcohol testing time frame for a half an inch strand of hair is thirty days. The most recent 3.9 cm of hair is generally considered first by our lab for the most effective sample we can collect for this specific EtS / EtG alcohol hair drug test. Call your local ARCpoint Labs location to find out more about EtG / EtS hair alcohol testing, collections, and results.

How much hair do you need for the alcohol hair test?

Human hair is said to grow at the rate of half inch or 1.5 cm per month. A standard ARCpoint Labs hair follicle drug test requires 40 mg of hair. This is about 50 to 70 strands of hair.
