Alco Screen Alcohol Test Strips

Alcohol Test Strips – Case of 24 – ALCO SCREEN

ALCO SCREEN Alcohol Test Strips offer a fast, reliable, and user-friendly way to detect the presence of alcohol in saliva. Designed for use across personal, workplace, law enforcement, and medical settings, these single-use test strips deliver accurate results in just 2 minutes without the need for instruments or training. The simple dip-and-read format allows for quick screenings anytime, anywhere, making it an ideal tool for safety-conscious individuals and professionals.

Each strip detects the presence of alcohol at concentrations as low as 0.02% BAC, with results displayed via a clear color change on the reactive pad. The test is non-invasive, requiring only a saliva sample collected directly or via a mouth swab. A visible color shift compared against the included chart gives a semi-quantitative estimate of BAC, helping users make informed decisions without costly equipment or delays.

Alcohol Test Strips is FDA 510(k) cleared, CLIA-waived, and certain models (e.g., ALCO SCREEN 02) are DOT-approved, making them compliant with U.S. regulatory standards for both over-the-counter and professional use. It’s an effective alternative to breathalyzers, especially where electronic devices are impractical or costly to maintain. Because it uses saliva instead of breath or blood, it's discreet, hygienic, and easy to administer—even in field or remote settings.

Convenient, Fast and Invaluable

ALCO SCREEN is an invaluable tool for employers and safety officers aiming to maintain an alcohol-free workplace. Its speed and ease of use allow for on-site testing of employees in industrial, transportation, or office settings – helping to enforce “zero tolerance” alcohol policies and prevent accidents before they happen.

Supervisors can perform random screenings or test employees post-incident with minimal disruption, since each test only takes a few minutes.

How to Use Alcohol Saliva Test Strips

Alcohol Saliva Test Strips provide a fast, easy, and reliable way to screen for alcohol using a fresh saliva sample. Follow the steps below to ensure accurate results:

Preparation: Bring the test strip to room temperature (59–86°F / 15–30°C) before testing. Do not open the strip packaging until ready to use. Use the strip immediately after opening.

Sample Collection: Collect a fresh saliva sample directly from the mouth or as directed on the product packaging. Make sure there is no food, drink, gum, or tobacco in the mouth for at least 10–15 minutes before testing, as this may affect the result.

Apply the Sample: Place the reactive end of the strip (the end with the test pad) into contact with the saliva sample. If collecting directly from the mouth, gently saturate the test pad with saliva. If using a collected sample, dip only the test area, avoiding the plastic handle.

Remove and Place Flat: Remove the strip once the test pad is fully moistened. Place the strip on a flat, non-absorbent surface with the test pad facing up.

Wait for Results: Allow the strip to develop for the recommended time, usually 1–2 minutes or as directed on the product packaging. Do not interpret results after the maximum reading time, as accuracy may be compromised.

Interpret Results: Compare the color change on the test pad to the color chart provided on the packaging or insert. Match the test pad color to the chart to determine the alcohol level indicated by the test.

FAQ – Alcohol Test Strips

1. What is Alcohol?

Alcohol, scientifically known as ethanol, is a type of organic compound that falls under the category of volatile, flammable liquids. It is formed through the process of fermentation, where yeast or bacteria convert sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Alcohol is commonly found in beverages such as beer, wine, and spirits, and is consumed worldwide for recreational purposes.

2. What is the cut-off level? 

The cut-off level for ethyl glucuronide is 500 ng/ml. In other words, the test detects ethyl glucuronide when its concentration in the saliva sample reaches or exceeds this threshold.

3. What BAC levels can these strips detect?

Most strips detect key thresholds like 0.02%, 0.05%, 0.08%, and 0.30%, aligning with legal and clinical impairment standards.

4. How quickly do results appear?

Results are typically visible within 2 minutes, with a clear color change and control line for verification.

5. How do I use the strip?

Place the strip in the mouth under the tongue or against the cheek. Allow saliva to saturate the pad, then wait for the color to develop.

6. Can food, mouthwash, or smoking affect the results?

Yes — recent use of alcohol-containing products or smoking may cause false positives. Wait at least 15 minutes after eating or rinsing.

7. Are these tests reusable?

No. Each strip is single-use only and should be discarded after testing.

8. Is this test suitable for home or field use?

Absolutely. It’s non-invasive, portable, and requires no equipment or training — ideal for law enforcement, workplace, or personal use.

9. What does a positive result mean?

A color change matching a BAC threshold indicates alcohol presence. It’s a screening tool, not a diagnostic test — confirm with lab methods if needed.

10. How should I store the test strips?

Store in a sealed pouch at room temperature (2–27°C). Avoid moisture, heat, or freezing to maintain accuracy.

How to read 1 panel test strips

POSITIVE

When only one colored band appears in the control region (C). No apparent colored band appears in the test region (T).

NEGATIVE

When two colored bands appear on the membrane and one band appears in the control region (C) and another band appears in the test region (T).

Certain lines may appear lighter or thinner than other lines.

Each line is to be considered a clear reading whether it be faint, light or dark.

INVALID

An invalid result is when a control band completely fails to appear.
