Breathalyser
Breathalyzer tests for detecting alcohol in breath are a useful method oftesting blood or breath alcohol levels. Disposable alcohol testing kits and electronic digital breath alcohol tests are usefulfor use in the workplace, by healthcare workers or at home. Most people use them to test against the legal drink drive limit. In the UK this is 80mg/dl or 0.08% BAC (blood alcohol concentration).
Electronic Breath Alcohol Testing Units
If you are screening for alcohol on a regular basis, it is more cost effective to purchase an electronic breathalyzer unit. Breathalysers use disposable mouthpieces to ensure that every test is as accurate as the last.
Don’t risk drinking and driving!
Breath Alcohol Tests – A brilliant commercial version of the “blow in the bag” Breathalyser used by the British Police.
The Home Office Approved personal Breathalyzer testing units are a portable modification of the basic roadside breath alcohol test used by the British Police Forces for many years. It uses yellow crystals which turn green in the presence of any alcohol in breath in order to test patients to a pre-determined level.
This is the breathalyser repeatedly used when carrying out pre-employment, random or accident based workplace employee drug and alcohol testing.
The most accurate time to carry out these tests is the morning after alcohol consumption to see if you are under the limit enough to drive, this is because if you use them while you are still drinking alcohol the test won’t be accurate because alcohol will be in your stomach but not yet in your blood stream or breath, so you could be under the limit when you test yourself but 10 minutes later, you could be over the limit.
