Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Sensitivity of commercial ethyl glucuronide (EtG) testing in screening for alcohol abstinence Abstract: The `80 h Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) test' has become an idiom of the alcohol testing community, a review of the literature shows this window of detection applies only to extreme cases. EtG testing is becoming more common as a method to test for alcohol consumption in individuals who have been ordered to abstain from alcohol consumption. We tested 19 subjects using commercially available EtG kits. All urine samples collected more than 26 h after drinking had false negative results. So I ask myself WHO is interested in discrediting EtG by exploring the notion of FALSE NEGATIVES instead of dealving into the REAL science and exposing FALSE POSITIVES? Let's see who wrote this article...Mark H. Wojcik and S. Hawthorne of Alcohol Monitoring Systems, Inc. OOPS!!! I smell a rat! I think these are the manufacturers of the SCRAM unit! Are there any real scientists out there who don't have an ULTERIOR MOTIVE in examining this issue? The science is just so tainted. I'd like to read the full article, if anyone has free access, please email it to me. I'm sure not paying $28 so that these clowns can profit off my misfortune.
