How does hair alcohol testing work?

The body produces EtG and EtS when alcohol is present in the bloodstream and the EtG markers that are absorbed into the hair structure is what is analyzed from a sample of hair.

The EtG hair follicle alcohol testing time frame for a half inch strand of hair is thirty days. The most recent 3.9 cm of hair is generally considered first by Transmetron for the most effective sample we can collect for this specific EtG alcohol hair drug test.  Call your local Transmetron location to find out more about EtG hair alcohol testing, collections, and results.

How much hair do you need for the alcohol hair test?

Human hair is said to grow at the rate of one half inch or 1.5 cm per month. A standard Transmetron hair follicle drug test requires 40 mg of hair. This is about 50 to 70 strands of hair.
