Alcohol (EtG) Urine Self-Test

Alcohol (EtG) Urine Self-Test - fast screening for recent alcohol exposure

If you want a clear, practical indication of recent alcohol exposure, this urine self-test can help. It screens for ethyl glucuronide (EtG) in urine and provides a straightforward result within minutes, without the need for a lab visit. For those seeking clarity in a private setting, it offers a simple and accessible first step.

What the test measures

This test screens for EtG in urine. EtG is a metabolite formed after alcohol is processed by the body and can remain detectable longer than alcohol itself. The outcome is a screening indication, showing whether the result is above or below the test cut-off. It does not provide a precise concentration.

Why this test is useful

• Gives a fast screening result you can use for personal monitoring
• Uses urine, a common sample type for EtG screening
• Requires no laboratory visit or additional equipment
• Provides a clear readout with a control line to confirm the test ran correctly
• Suitable for discreet home use

How to read the result

This is a competitive lateral-flow test, so interpretation differs from many other self-tests:

• The control line (C) must appear. If it does not, the test is invalid.
• Test line (T) visible = negative - below the cut-off.
• No T line = positive - above the cut-off.

A faint test line should still be interpreted as a negative result. Follow the included instructions carefully for correct interpretation.

How to use

For the most meaningful result:

1. Collect the urine sample as instructed.
2. Apply the sample to the test card according to the instructions provided.
3. Wait the recommended amount of time before reading the result.
4. Do not interpret the result after the maximum read time stated in the instructions.

Who this test is for

This test is suitable for anyone who wants a quick at-home screening for recent alcohol exposure. It may be useful for personal monitoring, private screening, or checking whether alcohol metabolites are still detectable after drinking.

What’s included

• 2 test cards
• Instruction manual

Important information

• Single-use, in-vitro diagnostic test
• For urine use only
• A screening result is not a medical diagnosis
• This test does not measure current intoxication or impairment
• Detection depends on factors such as timing, amount consumed, metabolism, hydration, and the test cut-off
• If the outcome is important or the result is unclear, repeat the test and/or confirm via a laboratory method
