Product Information

Accurate Blood Testing for Long-Term Alcohol Consumption

Overview of the Test

The PEth Alcohol Test is a highly accurate blood test that detects phosphatidylethanol (PEth), a specific biomarker of alcohol consumption. This test is ideal for assessing chronic and heavy alcohol use over the past 3–4 weeks. Results are delivered securely within 5–7 working days*, making it suitable for personal, legal, or workplace purposes.

Why It Would Be Used

This test is designed for individuals and organisations needing reliable alcohol consumption analysis:

  • Legal Purposes: Admissible evidence for court cases or compliance.
  • Workplace Testing: Ensures adherence to alcohol-free workplace policies.
  • Personal Monitoring: Tracks alcohol intake to support health assessments or recovery programs.

Our PEth testing ensures reliable insights into long-term alcohol use.

How It Works

The PEth Alcohol Test measures the presence of phosphatidylethanol, which is formed only in the presence of ethanol (alcohol) in the bloodstream. This biomarker provides a clear indicator of alcohol consumption over the past 3–4 weeks, offering a more precise analysis than other alcohol tests.

Proof of ID Requirement

To ensure compliance and traceability, you must provide valid photo ID (e.g., passport or driving licence) during your appointment. This ensures results meet legal and professional standards.

Please note that copies of IDs or those shown on mobile phones are not accepted.

Results

Results are processed within 5–7 working days* and securely delivered via Email. All results are supervised by a doctor before being issued.

Please note that results cannot be given over the phone as the identity of the caller cannot be verified.

*Note: Turnaround time may vary slightly depending on sample collection time.
