“(PETH) TESTING
The most accurate blood test to determine Alcohol Abuse for family
courts, fitness to practice, clinical studies and treatment centers.
Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) Testing provides a detection of alcohol abuse
with 99% sensitivity (far higher than traditional blood testing methods)
A blood spot/micro sample can be collected by finger prick making it less
invasive than a full venipuncture (needle and vial collection)
PEth testing is not affected by medications, illnesses, previous drinking
habits, age or the health of the donor
The result provides a detection period of up to 3-4 weeks
Ideally combined with Hair or Nail testing ”
