Description:
Alcohol EtG Hair Follicle Test (Labcorp)
The Alcohol EtG Hair Follicle test looks for Ethyl Glucuronide, a metabolite of alcohol. Hair drug testing can typically detect alcohol use up to 90 days in the past. It may take 7-10 days for consumption to be detectable in hair. This test provides an initial screening with confirmatory testing on any positive results at no additional cost. A positive confirmatory test will provide numerical results.
A Urine Alcohol EtG test is also available for customers who do not require the longer detection period provided by hair testing.
Turnaround time is typically up to 7 business days. Additional time may be needed for confirmatory testing.

Requirements:
Please be aware that due to national staffing shortages at the labs, results for drug testing may take longer than normal. Request A Test cannot guarantee turnaround time for test results.
Hair must be at least 1.5-2 inches in length. Hair will be collected from the top of the head only. The lab will be required to take a sample of at least 200 strands.
Please note that not all lab locations are able to perform the collections for hair drug testing. When placing a testing order online you will only be able to select from lab locations that are able to perform this type of testing.
ETG hair testing requires a separate specimen. This test cannot be run on the same sample as any other hair test.
