    The lab turn-around time is 48-72 hours.

    That has nothing to do with shipment to or method of reporting back or the policy of the agency requesting the test.

    Are there any urine dip stick tests that can instantly check for ETG, etc or do all of those types of tests have to be sent to a lab for analysis?

    EtG testing is entirely instrumental and lab based. There are no "dip type" tests in use.
