EtG/EtS are direct metabolites of alcohol (ethanol), and their detection in urine is highly specific, similar to testing for other drugs. Add to this, RTL utilizes the most sophisticated, sensitive, and specific equipment and technology available, LC/MS/MS, to screen, confirm, and quantitate EtG/EtS. This methodology provides highly accurate results. As is the case with any laboratory test, it is also very important to obtain clinical correlation.
