Alcohol Screening Devices – Saliva Alcohol Alco-Screen®

The Forensic Laboratories Saliva-Alcohol Alco-Screen® test is intended for use as a rapid, highly sensitive method to detect the presence of alcohol in saliva and provide an approximation of relative blood alcohol concentration. Since it is well established that the concentration of alcohol in saliva is very close to that in the blood, saliva is the preferred specimen for alcohol testing, allowing for greater detection sensitivity than breath testing methods. Alco-Screen® is a very simple, one-step, 2 minute test requiring no instrumentation, calibration or special training to be used effectively, and is convenient enough to be used any time, any place. The relationship between the amount of saliva alcohol and blood alcohol is 1:1 while with breath it is .000048:1, making saliva a more sensitive testing medium than breath. In addition to testing alcohol in saliva, the Alco-Screen can detect the presence of alcohol in other fluids Alcohol testing kit are widely used for personal, business, and now the education sector. Testing you alcohol levels even before driving

Inappropriate consumption of alcohol can be a problem in many family, occupational, institutional and safety sensitive situations. Alco-Screen® provides you with an easy yet effective tool in identifying alcohol consumption. The Alco-Screen®, offered by Forensic Laboratories, is the most cost-effective alcohol testing method available. For less than $2.00 per test, Alco-Screen® can help you avoid the risks associated with inappropriate alcohol consumption.

For applications where a qualitative determination of blood alcohol concentration is required, a positive Saliva-Alcohol result must be verified using an acceptable quantitative alcohol procedure. Samples can be sent to Forensic Laboratories and confirmed by GC/HS (Gas Chromatography/Head Space).

The Facts and benefits of the On-Site Oral Device:

Abstain from placing anything in the mouth for fifteen (15) minutes prior to
beginning the test. This includes non-alcoholic drinks, tobacco products, coffee, breath mints, food, etc.
Open the foil package and remove the test strip. Observe the reactive pad on the end of the test strip. The pad should be a light cream color. A test strip with a reagent pad that is dark tan in color or otherwise discolored must be discarded. Saturate the reactive pad with saliva from mouth or sputum cup. Immediately start timer.
At two (2) minutes observe the color change (if any) in the reactive pad. A color change of green or blue indicates the presence of alcohol and a positive result. Results obtained after more than 2 minutes and 30 seconds may be erroneous
