[Enzymatic determination of blood ethanol with centrifugal analyser]

An automated method for ethanol determination on Gemsaec centrifugal fast analyser is described. The measurements have been done by a non linear two-point kinetic method during 10 minutes. The suitability of the proposed method has been evaluated by determination of the detection limit and the recovery. The method is applicated to whole blood and to plasma with and without initial perchloric acid deproteinization. Similar results are obtained for the different samples.
