Methodology

Competitive Immunochromatographic (Alcohol - Enzymatic, Ultraviolet)

This test provides only a preliminary test result. A more specific alernate chemical method must be used in order to obtain a confirmed analytical result. Gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (GC-MS) is the preferred confirmatory method. Specimens are held for 4 days.
