Ethylene glycol is a toxic substance commonly found in antifreeze, brake fluid, and other industrial products. Accidental or intentional ingestion of ethylene glycol can lead to severe poisoning and potentially fatal consequences. Ethylene glycol diagnostics refer to tests and methods used to detect and diagnose ethylene glycol poisoning.
Diagnostic methods for ethylene glycol poisoning typically involve laboratory tests to detect the presence of ethylene glycol or its metabolites in the body.
Specific laboratory assays are available to directly measure ethylene glycol and its metabolites in blood or urine samples, providing quantitative data to confirm the diagnosis.
Catachem offers ethylene glycol test kits.
