What are alcohol testing kits used for?

Alcohol testing kits are used to screen for alcohol consumption in workplace, clinical, legal, and personal settings. They can detect alcohol via breath, saliva (oral fluid), or urine metabolite testing depending on the kit type.

What types of alcohol testing kits are available?

Common alcohol testing kits include EtG urine alcohol metabolite tests (for longer detection windows), DOT-approved or non-DOT saliva alcohol screening devices (for on-site screening), and crush & blow breath alcohol test kits (for rapid breath screening).

What is an EtG alcohol test?

An EtG (Ethyl Glucuronide) alcohol test is a urine test that detects alcohol metabolites rather than alcohol itself. It is used when a longer detection window is needed and can detect alcohol use for up to 80 hours after consumption and are intended for Forensic use only.

Are saliva alcohol tests DOT approved?

Some saliva alcohol screening devices are DOT approved for screening tests only. For DOT-related programs, choose a device clearly labeled as DOT approved and follow your organization’s collection and documentation procedures.

How do crush and blow breath alcohol test kits work?

Crush and blow breath alcohol test kits are disposable screening devices. The user crushes the internal ampoule and the subject blows into the end of the amouple; a color change indicates the presence of alcohol at or above the device’s threshold.

Which alcohol test should I choose: EtG, breath, or saliva?

Choose EtG urine tests when you need a longer detection window (up to 80 hours). Choose breath tests for immediate screening of current alcohol concentration levels. Choose saliva tests for fast, non-invasive on-site screening, including options that are DOT approved.

How accurate are alcohol testing kits?

Accuracy varies by test type and proper use. Professional-grade alcohol testing kits are designed for reliable screening when used according to instructions, including correct timing, sample collection, storage, and interpretation of results.

Q: How long can alcohol be detected in the body?

Detection time depends on the test type. Breath and saliva tests are designed for recent use and current impairment screening, while EtG (Ethyl Glucuronide) urine alcohol metabolite tests can detect alcohol use for up to 80 hours after consumption.

Alcohol Testing Kits for Accurate and Fast Alcohol Detection

Alcohol testing kits provide a reliable way to detect recent alcohol consumption in workplace, clinical, legal, and personal settings. Whether you need extended detection with an EtG alcohol test or rapid screening with a breath or saliva device, we offer professional-grade solutions designed for accuracy and ease of use.

How long can alcohol be detected in the body?

Standard breath tests detect current intoxication. The body eliminates alcohol at a rate of .015 per hour. EtG alcohol metabolite tests can detect alcohol use for up to 80 hours after consumption.

Types of Test Kits We Carry

EtG Alcohol Metabolite Tests (Up to 80-Hour Detection)

EtG (Ethyl Glucuronide) alcohol tests detect alcohol metabolites in urine for up to 80 hours after consumption, making them ideal for:

Court-ordered testing
Probation monitoring
Treatment programs
Zero-tolerance workplace policies

These tests are significantly more sensitive than standard breath testing and is widely used when longer detection windows are required.

DOT-Approved Saliva Alcohol Tests

Our DOT-approved saliva alcohol screening devices deliver fast, non-invasive results and are commonly used for:

Department of Transportation (DOT) compliance
Reasonable suspicion testing
Post-accident screening
Workplace alcohol policies

Saliva alcohol tests detect the presence of alcohol in oral fluid and provide convenient on-site screening.

Crush & Blow Breath Alcohol Test Kits

Crush and blow breath alcohol tests are simple, disposable screening tools designed for rapid detection of alcohol in breath. These devices are:

Easy to use
Portable
Cost-effective
Ideal for workplace or personal screening

Breath alcohol tests detect current intoxication levels and provide immediate results.

Choosing the Right Alcohol Test

The best alcohol testing kit depends on your testing goals:

Need to detect alcohol from the past 1–3 days? Choose an EtG urine test.
Need immediate impairment screening? Select a breath alcohol test.
Need DOT-compliant on-site screening? Use a DOT-approved saliva device.

Why Buy Professional Alcohol Testing Kits?

Our alcohol testing kits are trusted for workplace safety programs, court systems, rehabilitation monitoring, and personal accountability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an Alcohol Screening Device?

An alcohol screening device (ASD) is designed to detect alcohol in the body and provide either a pass/fail test result or a numeric test result (i.e. 0.20). They are used to administer a screening test only and not a confirmation test.

Can I use an Alcohol Screening Device to administer a DOT test?

ASDs used for DOT testing must be DOT approved and appear on NHTSA’s conforming products list of ASDs. Never use an alcohol screening device to administer a DOT confirmation test.
