Question

Which of the separation techniques is best suited for the analysis of alcohol in blood?

• A. Pyrolytic GC
• B. Low temperature GC
• C. Headspace GC
• D. Capillary GC

Hint:

Headspace GC is the gold standard for detecting alcohol levels in blood samples in forensic analysis.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Headspace Gas Chromatography (GC) is a specialized technique for analyzing volatile compounds such as alcohol in biological samples. It minimizes contamination by isolating the volatile substances in a sealed system, making it highly reliable for forensic toxicology.
