Alcohol, though legal, poses significant risks to health and public safety when abused. According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), alcohol misuse in the workplace results in decreased productivity, injuries, and increased absenteeism. Moreover, in school environments, alcohol abuse can severely impact academic performance and social behavior. This test is popular for school use since it can be used not only to test a person's blood alcohol level, but also to detect the presence of alcohol in other beverages.
Product Overview
AlcoScreen is a highly accurate saliva test that allows you to measure blood alcohol concentration (BAC) conveniently at home. The concentration of alcohol in saliva closely mirrors that of blood, making this test both effective and dependable. By saturating the test strip with saliva, you can quickly determine your BAC based on the color change of the strip, which corresponds to levels of 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.08%, and 0.30%.
Key Features
- High Accuracy: AlcoScreen provides precise BAC readings, critical for determining impairment levels. It accurately measures BAC at 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.08%, and 0.30%, the latter being a life-threatening level.
- Versatile Usage: Besides measuring BAC, AlcoScreen can detect alcohol presence in other fluids. This feature is particularly useful for parents, school counselors, coaches, employers, and other supervisors who need to identify concealed alcohol use.
- Easy to Use: Simply saturate the reactive pad with saliva, wait two minutes, and compare the color change to the provided chart for your BAC level.
Practical Applications
- Workplace Safety: Employers can use AlcoScreen to ensure a safe working environment, as alcohol impairment can significantly reduce productivity and increase the risk of accidents.
- School Monitoring: School counselors and coaches can utilize AlcoScreen to monitor students and prevent alcohol abuse, promoting a healthier and safer academic environment.
- Parental Control: Parents can easily check if their children are consuming alcohol, ensuring their safety and well-being.
Why Choose AlcoScreen?
Unlike general guidelines that estimate impairment based on the type and amount of alcohol consumed, AlcoScreen gives you a precise measurement of your BAC. Factors such as gender, body mass, activity level, eating habits, and alcohol tolerance can all influence your actual BAC. With AlcoScreen, you get an accurate assessment of your alcohol level, ensuring you stay within legal limits and maintain safety.
In the United States, a BAC of 0.08% is considered a criminal offense for all drivers, while a BAC of 0.04% is illegal for commercial drivers. AlcoScreen helps you stay compliant with these regulations by providing reliable and easy-to-read results.

Instructions for Using the Saliva Alcohol Test Strip
1. Important Notes before You Begin:
- Abstain from placing anything in the mouth for fifteen (15) minutes prior to starting the test. This includes non-alcoholic drinks, tobacco products, coffee, breath mints, food, etc.
2. Preparation:
- Open the foil package and remove the alcohol test strip.
- Observe the reactive pad on the end of the test strip. The pad should be a light cream color.
- Discard any test strip with a reagent pad that is dark tan in color or otherwise discolored.
3. Collecting the Sample:
- Saturate the reactive pad with saliva from mouth or sputum cup.
- Immediately start the timer.
4. Observing the Results:
- 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.
5. Interpreting the Results:
- Estimate the approximate blood alcohol concentration by comparing the color of the reagent pad with the color chart on the test package.
Results
Positive Result:
- The AlcoScreen alcohol test produces a color change in the presence of saliva alcohol, ranging from a light green-gray color at 0.02% blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to a dark blue-gray color near 0.30% BAC.
- Color blocks are provided within this range to allow an approximation of BAC.
- AlcoScreen may also produce colors that appear to be between adjacent color blocks.
- A green color lighter than the 0.02% color block should be interpreted as positive for the presence of alcohol in saliva, but at less than the 0.02% level of BAC.
Negative Result:
- If the reagent pad shows no color change (remaining white or cream-colored), it should be interpreted as a negative result (meaning no alcohol present).
- If the outer edges of the reagent pad produce a slight color change but the majority of the pad remains colorless, repeat the test to ensure complete saturation of the reagent pad with saliva.
- If the second result is the same, interpret the results as negative (no alcohol present).
1. How accurate is the AlcoScreen test?
Answer: AlcoScreen is 99% accurate, providing reliable and consistent results. Its high precision makes it an excellent tool for measuring blood alcohol concentration.
2. How do I use the AlcoScreen test?
Answer: Simply saturate the reactive pad with saliva, wait for two minutes, and observe the color change. Compare the color of the reagent pad with the color chart provided to determine your BAC.
3. Can AlcoScreen detect alcohol in other liquids?
Answer: Yes, AlcoScreen can detect the presence of alcohol in other fluids. The test strip will turn very dark brown or black if alcohol is present, making it useful for identifying concealed alcohol.
4. What BAC levels can AlcoScreen measure?
Answer: AlcoScreen can measure BAC levels at 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.08%, and 0.30%. These levels are essential for determining impairment and legal compliance.
5. Why is measuring BAC with AlcoScreen more effective than estimating based on drink consumption?
Answer: Estimating BAC based on drink consumption can be inaccurate due to factors like gender, body mass, activity level, eating habits, and alcohol tolerance. AlcoScreen provides a precise measurement of your BAC, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
