Breath Alcohol Testing
Breath alcohol testing measures the current level of alcohol in a donor’s system. The resulting Breath/Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is calculated immediately and no lab time is required. Breath alcohol testing is mobile and can be easily administered in the clinic or onsite.
Because alcohol is absorbed directly through the walls of the stomach and into the bloodstream, breath alcohol testing is a good indicator of current alcohol impairment and valuable in occupational testing. Breath alcohol testing measures the level of alcohol in a donor's system through an electronic monitor that measures alcohol molecules released in the carbon dioxide of an individual’s breath. This reading calculates Breath/Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) and within minutes of drinking alcohol your blood alcohol concentration starts to rise. Alcohol is absorbed directly through the walls of the stomach and proceeds directly into the bloodstream where it travels throughout your body and to your brain.
