Abstract

A sensitive, fast, simple, and high-throughput enzymatic method for the quantification of ethanol in whole blood (blood) on Hitachi 917 is presented. Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) oxidizes ethanol to acetaldehyde using the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which is concurrently reduced to form NADH. Method development was performed with the aid of factorial design, varying pH, and concentrations of NAD+ and ADH. The linear range increased and reaction end point decreased with increasing NAD+ concentration and pH. The method was linear in the concentration range 0.0024-0.4220 g/dL. The limits of detection and quantification were 0.0007 g/dL and 0.0024 g/dL, respectively. Relative standard deviations for the repeatability and within-laboratory reproducibility were in the ranges 0.7-5.7% and 1.6-8.9%, respectively. The correlation coefficient when compared with headspace gas chromatography-flame ionization detection methods was 0.9903. Analysis of authentic positive blood specimens gave results that were slightly lower than those of the reference method.
