Frequently Asked Questions

What is PEth?

Phosphatidylethanol (PEth) is a direct biomarker of alcohol consumption that forms in red blood cell membranes. Measuring it in whole blood allows for an assessment of long-term drinking patterns, unlike short-lived markers.

Who is this test intended for?

For professional users in clinical and forensic laboratories where the concentration of PEth 16:0/18:1 and PEth 16:0/18:2 in whole blood is relevant.

What results does the kit provide?

Quantitative results (LC-MS/MS) for the PEth species 16:0/18:1 and 16:0/18:2, based on a 7-point calibration and accompanying 3-point controls.

Can sample preparation be automated?

We are currently working on automating the sample preparation process. More information will follow.
