There are two fundamental principles behind Alcohawk breathalyzers. They are the “platinum fuel cell” and the “semi-conductor” principles. As such, there are also two types of analysers, the platinum fuel analyser and the semi-conductor analyser. These two distinct types of alcohol detectors are know and used on a daily basis with extraordinary results.
Both platinum fuel cells and semiconductor version of breathalysers exist. Each one employs a different principle; the platinum fuel cell principle or the semiconductor principle. If you’re inebriated, either can be your best friend or worst enemy. They both have outstanding track records in accuracy.
What principle do Alcohawk breathalysers use? The platinum fuel cell principle. Detecting blood alcohol level requires you to blow into the device as hard as you can for a number of seconds. As the air goes through the device’s chamber it makes contact with a set of platinum electrodes. This results in a build up of oxidation. If there is alcohol in the breath the oxidation will make an electric current. There’s the secret. The more alcohol, the more current that gets produced. And its that current that is measurable. It this simple, but complicated, science that make the Alcohawk such a masterful device. With it, detecting alcohol levels is speedy, simple, and extremely accurate
Other breathalysers may use the semiconductor method. It’s similar to the platinum fuel cell method but it also detects other particles like ketones, smoke and petrol that can sometimes render the tests inaccurate. It this fact that limits the reliability of semiconductor based devices.
The entire line of Alcohawk breathalysers use the accurate platinum fuel cell principle making it one of the world’s best devices available. It’s used by individuals and professional alike. Many surveys have shown that Alcohawk is the #1 choice for many professional and law enforcement departments around the globe. It is unmatched in precision and reliability.
Claims arise now and again regarding the accuracy of blood alcohol analyzers in general. However, the science is sound. Alcohawk breathalyzers test accurately every time! Each test performed using the platinum fuel cell based breathalysers have always been proven accurate. Results have been onerously compared by professionals. The laboratory results find the platinum fuel cell method is unsurpassed. It is quick and accurate, and it’s super easy to administer.
How does this device benefit others? Most obviously, by preventing inebriated drivers from getting behind the wheel, and in turn preventing accidents. It can help you make a decision on whether to accept a ride home from someone who has been drinking. It can save you from the legal complications of a DUI or worse. The Alcohawk breathalyser can also help you determine how much alcohol you’re drinking and deter future use and curb the habit before it becomes un-curbable.
Need I say more? Alcohol blood analyzers are a good idea and the undeniable quality of the Alcohawk breathalyser makes it a must have! It continues to be rigorously tested and improved and is used worldwide. The device is acclaimed for its accuracy and effectiveness.
