Alcohol Testing Services at Our Florence Location

We offer three confirmed alcohol testing specimen types at this location. Each captures a different detection window, so the right choice depends on your purpose: a court order, an employer program, a custody proceeding, or personal monitoring.

EtG Hair Alcohol Testing: Detects alcohol biomarkers incorporated into the hair shaft over a period of months, making it well-suited for long-term abstinence verification.
EtG / EtS Urine Alcohol Testing: Measures ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulfate (EtS), two biomarkers that can remain detectable in urine after alcohol has cleared the bloodstream. Best for recent to mid-range detection windows.
Nail Alcohol Testing: Captures biomarkers over approximately a 90-day window, similar to hair testing, and provides an extended picture of alcohol consumption patterns.

Not sure which test fits your situation? Our team can help you identify the right specimen type before you come in.

Alcohol Testing Methods & Detection Windows

Alcohol testing works by detecting biomarkers left behind after the body processes alcohol. Different specimen types capture those biomarkers across very different time ranges, which is why the right test depends entirely on what you’re trying to document.

EtG / EtS Urine Testing

EtG, or ethyl glucuronide, is a direct metabolite of alcohol that can remain detectable in urine for up to 80 hours after consumption, depending on the amount consumed. EtS, or ethyl sulfate, is a secondary biomarker measured alongside EtG to improve accuracy and help confirm results. Together, they make urine-based testing the standard choice for probation compliance, court monitoring, and employer programs focused on recent use.

EtG Hair Testing

Hair testing works differently. Alcohol biomarkers become incorporated into the hair shaft as it grows, creating a record of consumption over months rather than days. This makes EtG Hair testing appropriate when long-term abstinence verification is required, such as in custody proceedings or professional monitoring programs. Detection windows vary based on hair length and growth rate.

Nail Alcohol Testing

Nail testing captures biomarkers over a window of approximately 90 days, similar to hair testing. It’s often used when hair sample collection isn’t practical or when an independent specimen type is preferred for extended monitoring. Like hair testing, it reflects patterns over time rather than a single recent event.

If your court order, employer policy, or DOT regulation specifies a particular specimen type, that requirement determines your choice. When no specific test is mandated, our team can help you match the right method to your purpose.
