ARK Ethyl Glucuronide Assay
The ARK™ Ethyl Glucuronide Assay is a highly specific enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative or semi-quantitative determination of the alcohol metabolite ethyl glucuronide (EtG) in urine.
Assay Characteristics
- Excellent sensitivity and specificity for the detection of ethyl glucuronide in urine
- Maximum flexibility due to two cut-off options – 500 ng/mL and 1,000 ng/mL
- Liquid, ready-to-use reagents, calibrators, and controls – no reconstitution required
- Application protocols for all major clinical chemistry analyzers
- Packaging tailored for your laboratory’s specific needs
Background
Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a specific metabolic product of ethanol. The detection of EtG in urine is, therefore, a reliable indicator of previous alcohol consumption. Since EtG has a significantly longer half-life than ethanol, it appears in the urine with a time delay. Thus, it is still detectable even if the alcohol consumed has already disappeared from the body. EtG can be detected in urine 36 to a maximum of 80 hours after ingestion, depending on the amount consumed.
Alcohol markers such as EtG not only play a role in a forensic context, for example in custody disputes or to prove abstinence from alcohol after the loss of a driving license. They are also increasingly being used in hospitals to verify alcohol abstinence or to rule out harmful consumption.
