The Testing Process
EtG testing is a process similar to other lab-based drugs of abuse testing.
The following steps are typically followed:
Step 1:
A chain of custody form is completed.
Step 2:The subject voids into a standard collection cup. The temperature of the urine is checked, using a temperature strip on the collection cup, to assure it is a valid sample.
Step 3:A urine dip collection device is used to collect a sample of the urine.
Step 4: The dip, and related paperwork are sent to the lab. This is easier, cleaner and less expensive than sending a bottle of urine.
Step 5:The test samples are shipped to our lab by the US Postal Service or by UPS, FedEx or DHL. The most economical and effective method of getting your sample to the lab will depend on your location.
Step 6:Results are typically reported within three days of receipt at the lab.
