Legal limits for blood alcohol in the United States are set at either 0.080 or
0.100g/dL. We offer high- and low-concentration standards so that laboratories
can construct calibration curves that bracket either legal limit concentration. In
addition, we offer 0.015g/dL and 0.025g/dL concentrations, which are important
in “zero-tolerance” cases involvingminors or convictedDUI offenders.
These standards areNational Institute of Standards andTechnology (NIST)-trace-
able and are shipped with a complete data pack that includes a Certificate of
Analysis, copies of all rawmaterial testing results, statistical QA results, analyti-
cal balance printout, and a lot sheet showing gravimetricweight of each analyte.
Use our Resolution Control Standard mix to verify the retention time for each
compound normally detected in a blood alcohol test, and to verify that the com-
pounds are resolved from anddonot interferewith eachother. Each compound in
this resolutionmix is 0.100g/dL. The ethanol concentration is anNIST-traceable
certified value.
We also offer Rtx®-BAC1 and Rtx®-BAC2 columns, which can resolve a blood
alcohol sample in less than3minutes. If youhave anyquestions about blood alco-
hol methods, or these products, please contact our Technical Service Team at
