Using a single-injection, dual capillary column, headspace gas chromatography (HS/GC) technique, simultaneous quantitation and confirmation of routine blood alcohol analysis are described. Quality control procedures utilized in sample preparation and analysis, as well as HS/GC methodology, are delineated. A comparison is made between the results of a conventional packed column HS/GC method and the dual capillary column HS/GC method using a decomposed blood sample.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
