Methods for Fluid Analysis
This chapter describes how methods for the measurement of alcohol in biological fluids such as blood, cerebral spinal fluid, urine, bile, and vitreous humor appeared in the scientific literature as early as 1860. Bechamp (1865) is credited with the first method utilizing potassium dichromate and sulfuric acid for the quantitative determination of ethanol. Since then, numerous analytical approaches have been applied, which lead to literally hundreds of published or modifications of published methodologies. These methods have currently been classified as; (1) chemical; (2) biochemical; and (3) instrumental.
