Breathalyser

Breathalyzer tests for detecting alcohol in breath are a regular procedure fordetecting blood or breath alcohol levels.  On-site disposable alcohol testing kits and digital breathalysers are usefulfor use in the workplace, by healthcare employees or for home use.  The majority of people use them to check 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

Electronic breathalysers are more cost effective if you are screening for alcohol on a regular basis. Breath alcohol units use individually wrapped mouthpieces to ensure health and safety.

Breathalyzer Tests – A very simple commercial version of the “blow in the bag” breathalyser test kit used by the British Police.
     
The Home Office Approved personal Breathalyzer testing units are a portable modification of the basic roadside breathalyzer 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 disposable product repeatedly used when carrying out pre-employment, random or accident based workplace employee drug and alcohol screening. 

The most accurate time to use 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.
