SafeWay Disposable breathalyzer is a chemical breathalyzer that is an affordable and compact way to ensure that you or your friends or family is sober enough to drive. This is a great product for those jobs that require strict no-alcohol compliance. This test detects even trace amounts of alcohol in the breath. The SafeWay Disposable Alcohol Tester can be used in a number of diverse environments, including jobs that involve the operation of heavy equipment or hazardous materials, to business use and law enforcement applications.
For a sobriety check, this one-time breath alcohol test provides accurate and fast results. The test works via a colorimetric alcohol detection method. Specially coated crystals inside the test tube will change in color when they are exposed to the ethanol in alcohol.
The SafeWay breathalyzer test is a simple to use sobriety test. Simply break the tube, and then exhale into the device, and watch for a change in color. It is that simple. Safeway is a quick and super low-cost alternative for determining sobriety or intoxication. Safeway tests are available in four easy to use testing format concentrations, including .02%, .04%, .05%, and .08% BAC levels. Units are color-coded for ease of use .02% (blue), .04% (purple), .05% (green), and .08% (red). Specially-coated crystals inside the tube are super sensitive to ethanol molecule presence and react with these molecules to create a color change that indicates the presence of alcohol. Compact testing units can be utilized to rapidly assess alcohol intoxication for personal screening or public testing as required by law enforcement agencies.
How SafeWay Disposable Testers Works?
During the metabolism of alcohol, a certain percentage of the ethanol travels through the arterial circulation and escapes the body during the breathing cycle. The determination of blood alcohol concentration and presence is based on a chemical reaction between the exhaled ethanol and the specially coated crystals of the SafeWay unit. In the presence of ethanol the breathalyzer crystals change color to indicate a positive test for alcohol. The test utilizes silicon crystals that are coated with a compound that is very sensitive and specific to the presence of ethanol.
The SafeWay disposable alcohol test keeps the crystals fresh in a hermetically sealed glass ampoule until the test is administered. Immediately prior to use, the ampoule is ruptured by slight finger pressure on the outer flexible clear tube to release crystals within the confines of the tube. The crystals react upon exposure to the test subject's breath by changing color from yellow to white and finally blue. If all of the crystals turn blue, the person's blood alcohol is at or above the %BAC of that particular test.
These tests can be used to measure blood alcohol concentration levels of .02%, .04%, .05%, and .08%. The disposable breathalyzer provides a convenient and accurate colorimetric test based on well understood chemistry. This reliability makes it ideal for screening uses by law enforcement agencies.
