Buy blood alcohol breath tester

Considering that most available alcohol testing methods have some drawbacks, it is understandable why some executives choose not to screen for alcohol. However, new technologies provide us with accurate, easily-administered, cost-effective screening methods that should now be considered.

For example, new disposable blood alcohol breath tester are an effective way to check for alcohol in a subject's system while testing for other drugs. If a blood alcohol breath test is positive, the subject is then required to provide a blood sample for shipment along with the urine sample. A laboratory tests the blood to confirm the presence of alcohol while the urine is tested for other drugs.

Adding alcohol to corporate substance abuse testing programs makes sense.

Since disposable blood breath tester cost $3 or less, they are a cost-effective screening method. They allow employers to eliminate from suspicion employees who have no alcohol in their systems and concentrate on those who test positive. Since a breath test can be confirmed by a blood test, they make good sense in a screen-and-confirm program.

When choosing disposable blood alcohol breath tester, managers should select one that has been properly verified and validated. It's a good idea to review those that have received favorable scrutiny from the Department of Transportation and that match a police intoximeter for accuracy. Blood and urine tests should be conducted by a forensic laboratory, preferably one certified by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). NIDA-certified labs have excellent quality control and chain-of-custody procedures and are likely to survive court challenges.

Since accurate and cost-effective methods of substance abuse screening are available, and since alcohol abuse is far more costly and damaging to American business than drug abuse, adding alcohol screening to corporate substance abuse testing programs makes sense. Any company that tests for drugs and not for alcohol is open to the criticism that its testing is incomplete.
