My Open Book

Breathalyzer tests for measuring alcohol in breath are a long standing procedure fordetecting blood or breath alcohol levels.  Disposable alcohol testing kits and electronic digital breathalyzers are suitablefor use in the workplace, by healthcare workers or at home.  The majority of people use them to check against the 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 that every test is as accurate as the last.

Breathalyzer Tests – A very simple commercial version of the “blow in the bag” breathalyzer used by the British Police.
     
The Home Office Approved breathalyser are a portable modification of the basic roadside breathalyzer used by the British Police Forces for several decades. 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 breathalyzer most frequently used when carrying out pre-employment, random or accident based workplace employee drug and alcohol testing. 

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 consuming 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.
