What is an Alcohol Test Kit?
An Alcohol Test Kit is a diagnostic tool used to measure the concentration of alcohol in a person's breath, urine, or saliva. These are rapid methods of alcohol testing that are both non-invasive and easy to administer, making them ideal for setting such as medical clinics, workplace drug testing, and law enforcement.
AdvaCare Pharma produces alcohol tests in three forms: a urine test strip, a saliva test strip, or an alcohol breath test kit, which uses a tube.
AdvaCare Pharma is a leading Alcohol Test Kit manufacturer and distributor. These kits are produced in ISO and CE-certified facilities situated in India, China, and the USA. Every facility undergoes regular inspections to ensure that they comply with healthcare standards regarding quality and safety.
Product Specifications
Type
Alcohol Test Kit - Urine
Alcohol Test Kit - Urine is a rapid diagnostic method for the quantitative assessment of ethyl alcohol in urine. It can detect the presence of ethyl alcohol in greater than 0.04% (40mg/dL) concentration.
The alcohol test kit features a test strip that is a narrow, plastic strip, which contains reactive agents that detect alcohol and an area for the sample to be applied. The test is designed to be used with a urine specimen. This product is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only.
Alcohol Test Kit Saliva
Alcohol Test Kit - Saliva is a rapid diagnostic method for the quantitative assessment of ethyl alcohol in saliva. It can detect the presence of ethyl alcohol in greater than 0.02% (20mg/dL) concentration.
The alcohol test kit features a test strip, which is a narrow, plastic strip containing reactive agents that detect alcohol and an area for the sample application. The test is designed to be used with a saliva specimen. This product is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only.
Alcohol Test Kit - Breath
Alcohol Test Kit - Breath is a rapid testing method for the quantitative assessment of ethyl alcohol in an individual's breath. It can typically detect 0.02% to 0.30% BAC (blood alcohol content).
The alcohol test kit is a glass breath tube that features a designated area with red arrows, which indicate the direction in which the breath must be blown. Inside of the tube contains reactive agents, absorption granules, filters, aluminum foil, and two protective caps. The reactive agents will produce a visible color change or signal that indicates the presence or absence of alcohol.

Uses
How should Alcohol Test Kits be used?
The type of test determines how it should be used. Before using an alcohol test kit, the enclosed instructions should be read thoroughly.
For saliva testing strips, the reactive pad of the strip should be saturated with saliva, either from a collection cup or by applying saliva directly to the pad.
For urine testing strips, the end of the strip must be inserted into the urine sample for at least 20 seconds. The urine specimen must be collected in a clean and dry container, but it may be collected at any time of the day.
For the alcohol breath test kit, it is necessary to firmly press the white protective caps on both ends of the tube inward until the inner covering breaks. To collect the specimen, the end of the tube should be blown into for 10 seconds, and then again for 10 more seconds. After blowing, the color will change to show the test result.
Any expired test kits should be discarded, as they may not provide accurate results.
How should Alcohol Test Kits be stored?
The testing kits should be stored in a cool, dry place that is not in direct sunlight.
FAQs
How does an Alcohol Test Kit work?
The alcohol test kits use reactive agents to detect the presence of alcohol in a specimen, such as breath, saliva, or urine. The exact process will depend on the specific type of test, but as a general guideline, it will produce a visible color change or signal.
How much time is needed to view the results of an Alcohol Test Kit?
The amount of time needed will vary based on the specific product type. In general, the alcohol rapid testing will display results in 2-3 minutes.
Who should be tested with an Alcohol Test Kit?
Alcohol testing kits are an efficient way to screen individuals for alcohol use. Kits are ideal for a variety of settings, including the workplace (such as safety-sensitive jobs like truck driving), healthcare settings, law enforcement checkpoints or traffic stops, and addiction treatment centers.
Which type of test kit should be used?
Overall, the choice of which alcohol test kit depends on the specific needs and circumstances surrounding the testing. Though an alcohol testing strip for urine can detect alcohol over a longer period of time, it is typically not as accurate as other types of tests, as factors such as hydration levels may affect the results.
Alcohol saliva tests are less affected by factors like food or drink consumption, but they can be less accurate for low levels of alcohol consumption. They are portable, easy to use, and can be used on-site.
