FAQ UrineStat
UrineStat®
Will a UTI affect the result of drug and/or alcohol testing?
Certain bacteria may interfere with drug detection but will not generate a false positive. Fermenting bacteria in the presence of excess glucose may produce ethanol in the bladder and in the specimen cup.
How do PEthStat® results differ from UrineStat EtG/EtS® results?
Recent studies have indicated that low-level positive EtG results can be produced by certain agents like hand sanitizers and mouth wash. The PEthStat® 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.
How long do you hold samples?
We hold negative samples for three days and positive samples for one year.
What is the detection window?
A sample of urine provides a drug history from the last two to three days for most drugs, and an even longer period for marijuana.
