Safe-Way Single Use Alcohol Detector
Safe-Way Single Use Breathalyzer uses a chemical reaction that will activate crystals inside the tester to only change color when a certain amount of alcohol is blown through the tester. Safe-Way breathalyzers are one of the most popular choices of breathalyzers for schools, office functions, trade show promotion, and the military. They promote safety by providing the tools necessary to test individuals for alcohol quickly. Users just blow through the tube, wait 1-2 minutes, and if there is a color change, then the threshold amount alcohol is present. Safe-Way can test for .02% for zero-tolerance situations, .04%, .05%, and .08% for legal limit testing.
Personal Breathalyzers
Buying a breathalyzer for home use or on the road is becoming a valuable resource in giving yourself the best chance to monitor your intoxication level and the level of those around you. Consumer level breathalyzers have come a long way, and many of them employ many of the same features you see on professional level breathalyzers. What you want to avoid is novelty grade breathalyzers that wrap around a keychain or don't give a digital readout of your BAC%. Here are our recommendations for personal use breathalyzers.

PRISM allows for the easy replacement of the sensor module, without having to send your breathalyzer in for a periodic calibration. A more ergonomic shape and color choice make the AlcoMate Prestige AL6000 one of the most popular choices for personal breath alcohol testing. The AlcoMate Prestige stands on a foundation of 10 years of research and development designing one of the most accurate semi-conductor sensors available.
An alternative to the AlcoMate Prestige, is the AlcoMate Core Breathalyzer. The AlcoMate Core has all the same accuracy and design, with a hard wired sensor. This lowers the cost of the Core, making it a more affordable option for users looking for a solid breathalyzer.
