The Rapid Response® Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG) Single Drug Test Panel is a rapid test for the qualitative detection of Ethyl Glucuronide in human urine. ETG is a more accurate indicator of recent alcohol consumption than measuring for the presence of ethanol itself as the ETG metabolite remains in the body longer. The Rapid Response® ETG Test Panel is an accurate, fast and reliable tool for detecting Ethyl Glucuronide. For forensic use only.
The product is fast, reliable, and available at a fraction of the cost. Its small size makes it ideal for storage and transportation. The built-in procedural controls and ability to obtain results within 5 minutes makes it perfect for employment testing and treatment centers.

Ethyl Glucuronide (ETG) is a metabolite of ethyl alcohol which is formed in the body by glucuronidation following exposure to ethanol, such as by drinking alcoholic beverages. It is used as a biomarker to test for ethanol use and to monitor alcohol abstinence in situations where drinking is prohibited, such as in the military, in professional monitoring programs (health professionals, attorneys, airline pilots in recovery from addictions), in schools, in liver transplant clinics, or in recovering alcoholic patients. ETG can be measured in urine up to approximately 80 hours after ethanol is ingested. ETG is a more accurate indicator of the recent exposure to alcohol than measuring for the presence of ethanol itself.
The Ethyl Glucuronide Test Panel is a rapid urine screening test that can be performed without the use of an instrument. The test utilizes a monoclonal antibody to selectively detect elevated levels of ethyl glucuronide in human urine. The Ethyl Glucuronide Test Strip yields a positive result when the Ethyl Glucuronide in urine exceeds 500 ng/mL.
The accuracy of the Rapid Response™ ETG Test Panel (Urine) was compared against commercially available tests with the same cutoff levels. Urine samples taken from volunteers claiming to be non-users were examined using both tests. The results of ETG 500 and ETG 1000 were in 89.2% and 99.1% agreement, respectively.
