EtG Hair Testing in Torrance
EtG Hair Testing Provides a Longer View of Alcohol-Use History
We provide EtG Hair Testing for individuals and organizations that need a documented, longer-term view of alcohol consumption. EtG, or ethyl glucuronide, is a direct metabolite produced after alcohol exposure. When the specimen and laboratory method support it, a proximal scalp-hair segment can commonly provide a lookback period of around 90 days.
This testing may be requested for employment, court proceedings, probation monitoring, child custody matters, or personal documentation. It isn’t a test of current impairment and may not identify every isolated drinking event. Before scheduling, confirm the required specimen, lookback period, reporting format, and acceptance criteria with the requesting authority.
Call (310) 773-0865 to discuss your instructions and arrange the appropriate EtG hair collection.

What to Expect During an EtG Hair Collection
We begin by confirming which test has been requested and how the results must be handled. Bring any paperwork or written instructions from the ordering party so we can identify the required specimen and reporting process.
A typical hair collection may include:
- Reviewing the request: We check the test type, purpose, and available instructions.
- Verifying identity: The collector confirms the donor’s identification and completes the required documentation.
- Collecting the specimen: The collector obtains the requested amount of hair when an appropriate specimen is available.
- Documenting chain of custody: The specimen is labeled, documented, and prepared for laboratory analysis.
- Communicating results: Results are delivered through the process designated for the individual or ordering party.
Hair length, scalp-hair availability, and cosmetic treatments can affect collection or interpretation, so share relevant specimen information before your collection. Turnaround time depends on the laboratory process, specimen, and testing purpose.
