Alcohol Testing Methods We Offer

Different situations call for different tests. Fastest Labs Fort Collins offers five methods, each suited to specific detection windows and program requirements. We help you match the right test to your situation so your results meet the requirements of the employer, court, or program directing it.

Our five alcohol testing methods include:

• Breath Alcohol: Measures current breath alcohol concentration (BAC) at the moment of the test. Commonly used for post-incident testing, reasonable suspicion situations, and fitness-for-duty checks because it reflects present impairment rather than past use.
• EtG Hair: Detects ethyl glucuronide (EtG), a metabolite produced when the body processes alcohol, preserved in hair strands. Hair testing can reflect patterns of alcohol use over an extended period, often up to 90 days, making it well suited for long-term monitoring programs.
• EtG / EtS Urine: Urine-based alcohol screening tests for both ethyl glucuronide and ethyl sulfate (EtS), a second metabolite. Running both markers together can improve detection reliability and is commonly requested by courts, probation officers, and employers focused on recent use, typically within 3 to 4 days of consumption.
• Saliva: A non-invasive test reflecting very recent alcohol use, generally within 12 to 24 hours. Convenient for rapid-turnaround needs.
• Nail: Analyzes nail clippings for EtG and can provide a detection window similar to or longer than hair testing. Useful for long-term sobriety monitoring and not commonly available at most local testing locations.

If you’re unsure which method is listed in your paperwork, bring the documents with you. Our collectors review that language and confirm the correct test before proceeding.

Common Uses for Alcohol Testing

Clients come to us with a wide range of needs. Some are completing pre-employment tests for safety-sensitive roles. Others need random or post-incident workplace tests, court-ordered or probation testing, or personal sobriety documentation for family or counseling purposes. We also support organizations that need structured testing programs, including recurring testing for transportation roles, fitness-for-duty checks after incidents, and testing as part of a broader safety initiative. Our office coordinates schedules and documentation so these programs can run smoothly for both managers and employees.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Knowing what happens when you arrive can ease a lot of anxiety. Before you come in, we encourage you to share why you’re being tested and any instructions you’ve received from an employer, attorney, or program. That helps us confirm we can complete the required test and advise you on what to bring.

Fast & Friendly Check-In

At check-in, our staff can ask for a valid photo ID and any supporting documents. We review everything with you, confirm the test type, and answer questions about what happens next, how long you’ll be in the office, and how your results will be handled.

Comfortable & Private Sample Collection

We follow clear, consistent procedures throughout collection. For breath alcohol testing, a team member explains the device and guides you through each step. For urine and other sample types, we walk you through the process and explain privacy measures. In all cases, we work to keep the experience straightforward and respectful.

Secure Handling & Results Delivery

After the test, we verify your information is recorded correctly and that any required signatures are in place. Results may go directly to you or to a designated employer representative or supervising officer, depending on what’s been authorized. We take confidentiality seriously and limit result discussions to approved channels.

If you have follow-up questions after your visit, contact our office and speak with a member of our team. Testing requirements can be confusing, and we’re happy to clarify our process or documentation so you can show you’ve completed what was requested.

Support for Employers & Programs in Fort Collins

Employers and program coordinators in Fort Collins face ongoing responsibilities around safety, compliance, and documentation. A reliable local testing partner can reduce administrative burden and support consistent records for internal audits or regulatory review. We work with businesses and organizations across the area to provide testing that fits into existing policies and schedules.

DOT-Regulated Alcohol Testing

DOT-regulated employers in safety-sensitive transportation roles must conduct alcohol testing under 49 CFR Part 40, the federal regulation governing pre-employment, random, post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, and follow-up testing. Larimer County employers in trucking, transit, and other regulated industries are subject to these mandates. Our collectors follow the procedures required for DOT-compliant breath alcohol testing. Employers and individuals should bring their DOT program documentation when scheduling so we can confirm the correct test and reporting steps.

Ongoing & Recurring Testing Programs

We take time to understand each employer’s testing policy, including when alcohol testing is required and how results should be reported. This may include pre-employment testing for specific roles, post-incident testing after certain events, or alcohol testing as part of a broader safety initiative. We collaborate with managers and coordinators to build consistent processes for recurring and random programs so that scheduling, documentation, and reporting stay on track.

We also recognize that testing sometimes needs to happen on short notice. After-hours and post-accident 24/7 service is available when an incident or reasonable suspicion arises outside standard business hours. You can expect professional communication and attention to detail throughout every interaction.
