Abstract

The processing of blood alcohol measurements by alcohol dehydrogenase method (ADH) was improved by using a tailored software program. The program is written in Turbo BASIC and requires an IBM Personal Computer (PC/XT/AT) or compatible with at least 640K memory and a graphic adapter (EGA or Hercules). All features of the program are available from the menu bar with pull down menus. The program stores on disk or harddisk the optical density values measured with an HITACHI spectrophotometer. After the measurement the calculation of alcohol concentration is accomplished by the program. The results can be transferred and further handled with database systems (e.g. DBASE III). Stored values are used to calculate the reproducibility of calibration and the precision of single determinations.
