Alcohol Detectors

To measure one’s alcohol content in the blood, you have to use an alcohol detector. An alcohol detector is convenient and easy to use. It consists of a mouthpiece where a person breathes into, another part where it holds the breath for examination and a LED screen where you can view the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) value. It is a portable instrument powered by batteries.

Types of Breath Alcohol Detector

Breathalyzer

Breathalyzer is widely use among police officers as well as individual consumers. They preferred it for its reliability and it is less expensive than the others. It is easy to use and brings fast and accurate result too. This alcohol detector works fast, you just simply breathe into the mouthpiece and the breath sample will blend into a sulfuric acid, potassium dichromate, silver nitrate and water in one of the vial. It will cause some chemical reaction which will be reflected in the meter where you can then read the BAC value. It is indeed fast and easy and not complicated at all.

Intoxilyzer

This device is another type of alcohol detector where BAC is measured by the use of infrared (IR) spectroscopy to identify alcohol in the sample. How does it work? It worked by watching the wavelength of the alcohol bond and the infrared absorption measures the level of alcohol and you will see the reading in the small LCD screen in the device.

Alcosensor

Alcosensor is another device that can measure the alcohol content in the body. It makes use of a fuel cells to distinguish alcohol in the breathe sample. The process is simple, an individual breathes in and the air breathe will flow into one side of the fuel cell and the more alcohol oxidize, the higher it produce electrical current. This electrical current measures the alcohol level. You will see the result value displayed in the small LCD screen of the device.

Using an Alcohol Detector

If you are out to buy an alcohol detector then make sure you buy one that caters to your needs. Try to find one that has a digital LCD screen for easy reading of the result and has a backlight feature so that you can easily use it even in the dark or at night time. Also select an alcohol detector that comes with five pieces mouthpiece so that you can save some of your money since you don’t have to buy any extra mouthpiece anymore.

You might be confused as to what brand to choose. When you do your shopping online for alcohol detectors, you will probably get confuse which one to choose but try to narrow down the choices by listing down your own preference. Read product reviews too for this will help you. In short do a massive research online before you purchase one.

An important note to remember, drinking alcohol drinks is not bad to the body as long as it is not taken in excess. When taken in excess, it becomes a serious threat to your health, a risk to your own life especially if you are driving and a threat to others too. So be a responsible individual and know your limits.
