ETO Etomidate hair drug test kit

Track Etomidate Use Over Time Using Hair Samples

The Etomidate Hair Test Kit is designed for long-term detection of etomidate use by analyzing human hair. Unlike urine or saliva tests, hair testing provides a broader detection window, revealing drug exposure over weeks or months. This makes it ideal for forensic toxicology, legal cases, or monitoring ongoing substance use.

Standard cutoffs are: 0.2ng/ml, 2.0ng/ml, 5.0ng/ml. Other cutoffs may be available.

Etomidate has the chemical formula C14H16N2O2. It is a short-acting, non-barbiturate intravenous injection with good sedative but not analgesic properties. Anaesthesia occurs in the 20s after intravenous injection and lasts about 5 minutes. The duration of action can be prolonged by increasing the dose. The effect on the respiratory and circulatory systems is mild, there is a brief respiratory depression, systolic blood pressure is slightly decreased, heart rate is slightly increased, no histamine release effect. Etomidate is a white crystalline powder. It acts mainly on the sensory centre of the upper spinal cord and cerebral cortex, inhibiting the transmission of sensory stimuli to the brain. Etomidate is rapidly metabolised to etomidate acid in the liver.

Why Hair Testing?

Etomidate deposits in hair shafts shortly after ingestion and remains detectable long after it clears from urine or saliva. This method is ideal for identifying chronic or repeated drug use, making it valuable in professional and legal contexts.

Sample collection should be done carefully to avoid contamination. Confirm with lab testing for legal purposes.
