Conclusion This paper introduced a highly process integrated disk- based assay to rapidly and accurately determine the concentration of alcohol in human whole blood The assay is run on a cost efficient modular platform comprising a passive polymer disk with monolithically embedded optical and fluidic structures as well as a standard laser diode and detector Its high degree of automation, its short time-to-result and its excellent precision recommend our centrifugal platform for point-of-care testing and routine screening in clinical labs
