Alco-Screen .02 Saliva Alcohol Test Strips CLIA Waived & D.O.T. Approved 24/Box
The Alco-Screen .02 is the simplest, most cost effective method of monitoring for alcohol consumption in a DOT Zero Tolerance testing program. The zero tolerance level for federally mandated DOT testing programs is .02% blood alcohol content (BAC). The Alco-Screen 02 uses this zero tolerance level (.02% BAC) as the detection level set point for the test strip resulting in the simplest method of test administration and interpretation. Alcohol detection using a saliva sample can be more sensitive and accurate compared to breath tests because the relationship between the amount of saliva alcohol content and blood alcohol content is 1:1 while with equivalent breath alcohol content it is .000048:1.
Alco Screen 02 is so effective that it has been tested and approved by the US Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) for required testing of all transportation and safety sensitive employees for blood alcohol concentrations above the federally mandated zero tolerance level of 0.02%. Alco Screen 02 Saliva Alcohol Test kits are the simplest, most cost effective method of monitoring for alcohol consumption in your ZERO TOLERANCE testing program.

Alco-Screen® is a rapid, highly sensitive method to detect the presence of 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 the blood, saliva is the preferred specimen for alcohol testing, allowing for greater detection sensitivity than breath testing methods. Alco-Screen® is a very simple, one-step, 2 minute test requiring no instrumentation, calibration or special training to be used effectively, and is convenient enough to be used any time, any place.
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. And it is the most cost effective alcohol testing method available.
