    Abstract: A device configured for collection and subsequent testing of a blood sample of less than 10 ml, characterized in that the container includes at least one inhibitor of the enzyme phospholipase D selected from at least one of a salt of vanadium and a salt of tungsten. A method of preparing a sample for analysis of phosphatidylethanol (PEth) comprises providing a blood sample for a patient with a volume of less than 10 ml; contacting the blood sample at least one inhibitor of the enzyme phospholipase D selected from at least one of a salt of vanadium and a salt of tungsten; and admitting inhibition of phospholipase D so formation of PEth is blocked. A method of applying a coating of at least one inhibitor of the enzyme phospholipase D to a test tube and the test tube obtained by this method, wherein the method comprises stabilizing the test in a substantially vertical position; inserting a spray nozzle inside the test tube, the spray nozzle being in fluid connection to a container holding a solution comprising at least one inhibitor of the enzyme phospholipase D; spraying the solution comprising at least one inhibitor of the enzyme phospholipase D inside the test tube; and allowing the solution comprising at least one inhibitor of the enzyme phospholipase D to dry.

    Abstract: A gas detection device and a gas inlet module thereof are provided. The gas detection device includes a case, a flow disturbing element, a check film and a detector. The case includes a cavity and an exhaust hole. The flow disturbing element is for making a to-be-measured gas vertically enter the cavity. The check film is connected to the flow disturbing element for make the vertical to-be-measured gas flow into the cavity in one-way. The detector is disposed within the cavity and positioned between the exhaust hole and the check film for detecting a property of the to-be-measured gas. The exhaust hole is for making the to-be-measured gas be exhausted.
