EtG tests can cost from $25-$60 depending on the lab performing the test.
does rockland county probation use urine etg tests
It tests for Ethylglucuronide (ETG)--Alcohol, Creantanine levels, Specific Gravity, Nitirite, and ph.
Most likely. ETG tests are very sensitive.
No. It works in theory, but for such a short time that you'd have to be drinking it in the waiting room. EtG tests are extremely sensitive.
This is going to be a weird answer. EtG tests will not test for cocaine. They only test for a metabolite of alcohol called ethyl gluconoride--and I think it's a mistake to test for this because any topical product containing "SD Alcohol 40" (SD means "specially denatured") like hand sanitizer will cause your body to produce EtG. The EtG test has caused many nurses to lose their jobs, which is strange because nurses use huge amounts of hand sanitizer. OTOH, anyone testing for EtG is also going to test for cocaine, so the answer is, "EtG tests won't detect cocaine but if you're using cocaine and get tested for EtG you'll still get busted for cocaine."
Probably. No guarantees. ETG tests are too unreliable to say for sure. You may not pass if you have used any products containing alcohol, such as hand sanitizer or mouthwash. There is a serious problem of false positives for people who have not consumed any alcoholic beverage, about which the US federal government has warned those who perform EtG tests.
There is a direct answer to this question. It is possible to dilute an ETG with the consumption of large amounts of water. Since altering is possible, tests are usually ordered to monitor creatine levels as well.
Yes. The EtG is a 3 day alcohol test. It tests the electrolites that alcohol leaves in your body.
No. Not a bit. If you test less than 48 hours after drinking any amount of alcohol, you will test positive unless you are incredibly lucky. In fact 72 - 96 hours is better. EtG tests are nearly impossible to scam.
No. ETG tests are extremely sensitive, and they test for alcohol metabolites, not the alcohol itself. Since ETG is fat soluble, it leaves the body much slower than the alcohol.
Ethyl gluconoride is a metabolite of ethanol. It stays in your body for several days after you last drank, so people like probation officers enjoy this test--if you were at a race on Sunday afternoon and you saw one of your clients drinking beers, you can pull him in on Tuesday, test him for EtG and throw him in jail for violating his probation. At least that's the theory. The problem with this test is it triggers on soap--if you wash your hands in a soap containing SD Alcohol 40, you will p*ss hot on the EtG test. I think EtG is a test that will eventually be removed from our battery of usable tests; it's so sensitive it's impossible to use it for what it's there for.
You could pass the test, with luck, but the odds are against it. ETG testing does not test for alcohol. It test for an alcohol metabolite that is present in the body for about 80 hours after alcohol is ingested. It is not directly related to the amount of alcohol, which is why it is only used for compliance testing, not for blood alcohol level testing. Since ETG tests are compliance tests, ANY detectable amount is considered to be a fail.
