Beschreibung
The alcohol test is a saliva test that can detect the consumption of alcohol by means of a saliva sample.
The ethyl glucuronide (EtG) test is often used to detect the presence of ethyl glucuronide, a breakdown product of ethanol, the intoxicant in alcohol, in the urine. The main purpose of an EtG alcohol test is to document or verify alcohol abstinence.
The alcohol saliva test only provides a visual qualitative result. In order to obtain a reliable analytical result, another, more specific chemical method must be used.
Procedure for the EtG alcohol saliva test:
Remove the EtG alcohol test from the packaging and dip the test strip into the saliva sample obtained or apply the saliva directly to the test pad. The reaction field changes color when alcohol is consumed.
For the exact test procedure, please refer to the package leaflet.
Interpretation of the results of the EtG alcohol saliva test:
The alcohol test is evaluated using a colour scale. For interpretation, the color in the test zone is compared with the lines on the color scale. Depending on the amount of alcohol, the color is stronger. The enclosed comparison graphic can be used to determine the amount of alcohol determined. The result is almost the same as the result of an alcohol blood test.
The blood alcohol level is displayed in the following gradations:
- 0‰
- 0,2‰
- 0,4‰
- 0,8‰
- 3‰
Additional information about the EtG alcohol saliva test:
