  • Title: [Estimation of ethanol concentrations in biological media. Comparison of alkylnitrite and direct vapor-phase methods].
    Author: Barinskaia TO, Tiurin IA, Smirnov AV.
    Journal: Sud Med Ekspert; 2006; 49(6):32-4. PubMed ID: 17191726.
    Abstract:
    Ethanol assays in the blood, saliva and urine were made according to two methods: alkylnitrite gas-liquid chromatography and direct vapor-phase method without thermostating. N-propanol was used as an internal standard. For saliva and urine the methods produced similar results. For blood, the direct vapor-phase method detected significantly lower level of ethanol compared to alkylnitrite one (p = 0.001). 24-h storage of the samples in refrigerator does not deviate the results. Recommendations are provided for most effective usage of each method.
