Blood Alcohol Determination with Teledyne Tekmar HT3™ Automated Static/Dynamic Headspace Analyzer

Analysis of biological fluids for volatile components by headspace analysis is routinely used by forensic laboratories around the world. One of the more common of these headspace analyses is the determination of blood alcohol in cases involving suspected DUI or OVI. This determination is typically accomplished with an injection of the sample onto two columns, one for quantitation and the other for confirmation of the volatile compounds, detected with separate flame ionization detectors (FID).
