HEIA Ethyl Alcohol Reagent ETOH for ImmTox 270 Toxicology

HEIA Ethyl Alcohol Reagent ETOH for ImmTox 270 Toxicology

Benefits of Using HEIA Ethyl Alcohol Reagent with the ImmTox 270 Machine

The HEIA (Homogeneous Enzyme Immunoassay) Ethyl Alcohol Reagent, when used with the ImmTox 270 Machine, offers a fast, reliable, and automated method for detecting ethyl alcohol in biological samples such as urine, serum, or plasma. This combination is ideal for toxicology labs, clinical diagnostics, and forensic applications.

Key Benefits

High Sensitivity and Specificity
Designed specifically for ethyl alcohol detection, the HEIA reagent minimizes false positives and false negatives, ensuring high confidence in screening results.

Fully Automated Workflow
Integration with the ImmTox 270 streamlines the process, reducing manual input and operator error while boosting overall efficiency.

Rapid Turnaround
Results are available within minutes, allowing for timely clinical or legal decisions in critical situations.

Cost-Effective Testing
Automation reduces labor time and increases sample throughput, making it a practical solution for high-volume laboratories.

Minimal Sample Preparation
With little to no preprocessing required, the assay is easy to use and reduces the chance of pre-analytical errors.

Regulatory Compliance
The system aligns with recognized standards (e.g., CLIA, SAMHSA), making it suitable for official use in regulated environments.

Interpreting the Results
Results from the HEIA Ethyl Alcohol Reagent are typically expressed as either positive or negative, depending on whether the concentration of ethyl alcohol in the sample exceeds a predefined cutoff value (such as 0.02% or 20 mg/dL).

A positive result indicates that the ethyl alcohol concentration is above the cutoff threshold. This suggests recent alcohol consumption or exposure, and confirmatory testing using more specific methods like gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is often recommended.

A negative result means the concentration of ethyl alcohol is below the cutoff. This suggests that no significant alcohol was detected in the sample at or above the threshold level.

If an invalid or error result occurs, it typically indicates an issue with the sample or the analysis process, such as instrument malfunction or sample interference. In such cases, retesting may be necessary.

The ImmTox 270’s onboard software automatically flags these outcomes and can generate clear, easy-to-read reports for review or integration into laboratory information systems.

The pairing of the HEIA Ethyl Alcohol Reagent with the ImmTox 270 Machine delivers a powerful, efficient solution for alcohol screening. Its speed, accuracy, and automation make it a trusted tool for laboratories that require consistent and timely toxicology results.
