What does this test assess?

This method provides quantitative determination of ethyl alcohol in whole blood using NMR spectroscopy, an independent analytical technique for forensic and medico-legal applications.

Clinical indications include:

  • Forensic blood alcohol determination
  • Traffic law enforcement (DUI/DWI)
  • Post-mortem blood alcohol analysis
  • Independent confirmation of immunoassay/enzymatic results

Ethyl alcohol (ethanol).

Analytical technique

Blood ethanol is determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, providing an orthogonal analytical approach independent of enzymatic and chromatographic methods. NMR is inherently quantitative and does not require calibration with external standards.
