Breathalyzer tests for detecting alcohol in breath are a useful method oftesting blood or breath alcohol levels.  On-site alcohol testing kits and digital alcohol breathalyzers are usefulfor use in businesses, by healthcare workers or at home.  Many use them to measure 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. Breathalyzers use disposable 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” alcohol test kit 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 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 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 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.
