Alco-Screen alcohol test ~ overview

Alco-Screen is a one step, single use alcohol saliva screen used to detect the presence of alcohol in saliva in a clean, non-invasive manner. Alco-Screen provides a semi-quantitative approximation of blood alcohol concentration. 

The Alco-Screen alcohol detection kit is highly effective, fast, easy and convenient.

Alco-Screen is a rapid, highly sensitive method to detect the presence of the drug 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 blood, saliva is the preferred specimen for the drug alcohol screening, allowing for greater detection sensitivity than breath screening methods. 

The Alco-Screen kit can be used any time, any place. Each strip screen is individually wrapped and completely disposable. It is the ideal on site alcohol screening device for substantially reducing the time and equipment cost associated with other single and multiple use alcohol screening methods. 

Benefits:

• 0.02% to 0.30% detection parameter
• Used by parents, teachers and other professionals
• Disposable saliva test Strip
• Results in minutes

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.

Alco-Screen Alcohol Test Procedure

	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 regent pad which is dark tan color or otherwise discolored must be discarded.
	Saturate the reactive pad end of stick with saliva from mouth or sputum cup.  Immediately start timer.   Remove test pad/stick from mouth and wait two minutes.
	At two minutes observe the color changes (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. Compare test pad with the color chart printed on the back panel of foil package. Within 15 seconds choose the closest color match to estimate the alcohol concentration. Interpretation: Negative - No color change on reactive pad. Positive - Reactive pad changes color within 2 minutes
