  • Post-mortem blood alcohol analysis
  • Independent confirmation of immunoassay/enzymatic results

Measured analytes

Analyte coverage

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.
