How do PEthStatSM results differ from UrineStat EtG/EtSSM results?

Print Print

Recent studies have indicated that low-level positive EtG results can be produced by certain agents like hand sanitizers and mouth wash.  The PEthStatSM blood assay is an ideal tool to define low-level positive EtG results.  The volume of alcohol required to trigger a positive PEth result is far above the level available from incidental exposure.
