ETG test strips
ALLTEST EtG (ethyl glucuronide) urine alcohol test strip kits allow effective zero-tolerance alcohol screening with a easy and accurate twice-weekly urine test.
What is an ETG test?
An ETG (Ethyl Glucuronide) test is a type of alcohol test that can detect the presence of ethanol (alcohol) in a person's system. Unlike traditional alcohol tests, such as a breathalyser test, which only detect the immediate presence of alcohol in a person's breath, EtG tests can detect alcohol consumption over a longer period of time, up to 80 hours after the last drink.
ETG tests are often used in legal and professional settings, such as in probation and parole programs, workplace testing, and child custody cases, where alcohol use may be prohibited or restricted. They can be easily performed on urine. The ETG test is highly sensitive, and even small amounts of alcohol can be detected, making it a reliable way to monitor alcohol consumption.
How do EtG test strips detect alcohol use:
ETG ethyl Glucuronide is a metabolite of alcohol which is formed by the body following consumption of ethanol.
How long after alcohol has been consumed can the ETG test strip detect it?
ETG detection in urine is up to 3 days, long after ethanol has been cleared. ETG urine test kits can be used to detect alcohol consumption for up to 3 days ( 72 hours ) after consumption of alcohol which is why the ETG test is sometimes referred to as 80-hour alcohol test

What is the AllTest ETG 80hr Urine Alcohol Test Kit?
This test kit detects ethyl glucuronide (EtG), a metabolite produced when your body processes alcohol. It can identify alcohol consumption for up to 80 hours (3–4 days) after drinking.
How does the ETG test work?
The test uses a simple dip-and-read strip. You collect a urine sample, dip the strip for the specified time, and read the result using the provided instructions. It’s quick, accurate, and easy to use at home or in a healthcare setting.
Are ETG tests used before surgery (pre-op)?
EtG tests are not commonly used as part of routine pre-operative screening in the UK. While pre-op checks focus on blood work, heart and lung health, and other tests to ensure surgery safety, alcohol use may be assessed through patient history or blood tests. EtG urine tests might be requested in specific cases where recent alcohol consumption is a concern, such as in patients with a history of alcohol dependency or when alcohol intake could affect anaesthesia or recovery.
Can EtG tests detect alcohol from hand sanitiser or mouthwash?
No. EtG urine tests detect alcohol metabolites that form when alcohol is ingested. Simply using hand sanitiser, mouthwash, or other products containing alcohol on the skin or in the mouth will not produce a positive EtG result. Only drinking alcohol will cause EtG to appear in urine.
Can drinking lots of water help me pass an EtG test?
Drinking water may dilute urine slightly, but EtG metabolites remain detectable for several days. Water alone cannot reliably prevent a positive result, and excessive water consumption can cause electrolyte imbalance, and should be avoided.
