Ist EtG wasserlöslich?
Das ETG ist ein direkter wasserlöslicher Metabolit des Alkohols. 0.1g/kg KG) kann ETG noch nach 13-20 Stunden und bei mittleren Trinkmengen (bis ca. 0.5g/kg KG) nach 26-36 Stunden nachgewiesen werden. Bei noch grösseren Alkoholmengen ist eine Nachweisbarkeit bis zu 80 Stunden möglich.
Wie gelangt EtG ins Haar?
Der Mechanismus der Einlagerung von ETG ins Haar ist im wesentlichen ungeklärt. Allerdings ist hier eine Verfälschung durch externe Kontamination im Gegen- satz zu manchen anderen Drogen nahezu aus- geschlossen, da ETG ausschließlich in der Leber gebildet wird.
What is EtG in a drug test?
EtG/EtS Alcohol Testing. EtG is a direct metabolite of alcohol (ethanol). Its presence in urine may be used to detect recent ethanol ingestion, even after ethanol is no longer measurable.
What causes a positive ETG and ETS?
Ethylglucuronide (EtG) and Ethylsulfate (EtS) All of these sources can cause a positive EtG and their effects are additive. Alcohol can be produced inside the body if someone consumes yeast (such as baker’s yeast) and sugar (such as in drinks or foods). This small amount of alcohol is metabolized into EtG and EtS.
What is the difference between RTL and eTG and ETS?
The detection of EtG and EtS offers greater sensitivity and accuracy for determination of recent ethanol ingestion, than by detection of either biomarker alone. RTL utilizes the most sophisticated, sensitive, and specific equipment and technology available.
How much alcohol is metabolized from ETG/ETS?
It has been estimated that between .02 and .4 percent of alcohol is metabolized to EtG, depending on the individual. This is a 20 fold difference and can result in a huge variation from a given exposure. All studies to date that have looked at levels of EtG/EtS from exposure to alcohol have been in very limited numbers of people.
