Alcohol Testing Methods We Offer

We offer six alcohol testing methods, each suited to a different detection window and use case. Here’s a quick guide to help you find the right fit.

Breath Alcohol: Measures current alcohol concentration instantly via breathalyzer. Used for workplace post-accident testing, DOT compliance, and reasonable suspicion scenarios.
EtG Hair: Detects alcohol consumption over approximately 90 days using a hair sample. Well suited for monitoring programs and court-ordered testing that require a long look-back period.
EtG / EtS Urine: Detects alcohol metabolites in urine for approximately 80 hours after drinking. Common in compliance and monitoring contexts requiring recent-to-mid-range detection.
Saliva: Detects recent alcohol use for approximately 12 to 24 hours after ingestion. Non-invasive and fast, making it a practical choice for rapid screening.
Nail: Provides a detection window of approximately 90 days using nail clippings. A non-invasive alternative when a long detection window is needed.
PEth Testing: Detects phosphatidylethanol, a direct alcohol biomarker, over approximately 3 to 4 weeks. Useful when a precise medium-range detection window is required.

Who Needs Alcohol Testing in Los Angeles

The reasons people come to us for alcohol testing vary widely.

Employer & DOT Testing

Employers in safety-sensitive industries need DOT-compliant breath alcohol testing under 49 CFR Part 40, which covers FMCSA, FAA, FRA, FTA, and PHMSA-regulated workforces. We also support pre-employment screening and post-accident testing. For employers who can’t send employees to a testing center, on-site mobile testing brings our certified collectors to your workplace. We also help Los Angeles employers build alcohol testing policies from the ground up and provide ongoing program management to support compliance and consistency.

Court-Ordered & Personal Testing

Individuals come to us for court-ordered testing tied to probation compliance or child custody proceedings, for participation in sobriety programs, and for personal monitoring. We assist with result documentation for those who need to submit findings to a court, probation officer, or attorney.

Alcohol Detection Windows: Choosing the Right Test

Each testing method covers a different time period. Understanding those windows makes it easier to select the test that fits your purpose.

Breath Alcohol: Measures current impairment at the moment of testing. It doesn’t detect past use beyond a few hours, making it the right choice for immediate impairment verification.
Saliva: Detects recent alcohol use for approximately 12 to 24 hours after ingestion. Fast and non-invasive for rapid screening needs.
EtG / EtS Urine: Detects alcohol metabolites for approximately 80 hours after drinking. Used when recent-to-mid-range detection is required.
PEth Testing: Detects phosphatidylethanol over approximately 3 to 4 weeks. Suited for situations requiring a precise medium-range window.
EtG Hair: Detects alcohol consumption over approximately 90 days. The right choice for long look-back monitoring or court-ordered programs.
Nail: Provides approximately a 90-day detection window using nail clippings, offering a non-invasive alternative to hair testing.

Accuracy, Chain of Custody & DOT Compliance

Accurate results start with proper collection. Our certified collectors follow established procedures at every step, and our certified breath alcohol technicians administer DOT breath alcohol tests using approved evidential breath testing devices as required under 49 CFR Part 40, the federal regulation governing collection, testing, and reporting for all federal workplace alcohol testing programs.

A proper chain of custody supports legally defensible documentation for regulatory reviews or legal proceedings. We handle all results with confidentiality from collection through reporting. For court-ordered or probation-related alcohol testing in Los Angeles, we can provide observed collection and documentation submitted directly to a court, probation officer, or attorney.
