Fully automated detection of phosphatidylethanol (PEth) from dried blood spots (DBS)

Abstract

An automated determination of the novel alcohol consumption markers phosphatidylethanol (PEth 16:0/18:1, PEth 16:0/18:2) in dried blood spots (DBS) has been developed. Blood samples were taken by HemaXis DB 10 device and simply positioned on an MPS autosampler for analysis (LOQs <10 ng/mL).
