Intoximeters’ handheld fuel cell based analyzers sets the gold standard in accuracy and precision. We take pride in offering only the top-quality instruments built to last. The Alco-Sensor line includes handheld breath alcohol testers for both screening applications and evidential can be found on the United States –   NHTSA Conforming Products List for Evidential Breath Test Devices and is approved by many other authorities worldwide.

Industry Leader in Handheld Breath Alcohol Testing

More experience than any other breath test manufacturer, offering evidential grade fuel cell based breath alcohol testing instruments for more than 50 years.

Impact resistant

Durable rugged ABS/polycarbonate blend material, Rubberized Grip, and side magnets are offered in the handheld instruments to protect against damage or loss.

Innovative Design

Designed for left or right handed use, allows the operator to position themselves and the subject in a manner that provides maximum safety and allows the test to be performed easily.

backlit display

Rear-facing LCD display is integrated with a mouthpiece design that directs the breathflow away from the operator while the multicolor backlit display allows the operator to monitor the test, the subject and the surrounding environment.

ALCO-SENSOR FST

The industry standard for Preliminary Breath Testing (PBT) instruments.

The Alco-Sensor FST’s innovative design:

  • Heads-up display oriented 90 degrees from the base of the instrument.
  • The operator can use their left or right hand to comfortably operate the instrument and keep the subject in a controlled and secure position.
  • The mouthpiece directs the breath flow away from the operator and the lighted mouthpiece channel.
  • Passive breath tester procedure for fast screening of multiple subjects, as well as the capacity to “sniff” alcohol in an open container by measuring the headspace over the liquid.
  • Innovative “lever and lock” mouthpiece, makes performing tests simple and easy; even at the side of the road at night.


Our 200,000 Alco-Sensor FST users indicate that the device has been well received and offers best in class performance, both with direct alcohol testing and passive testing.

Specifications
             
Analytical System Utilizes an Intoximeters electrochemical fuel cell sensor, which generates an electrical response that is proportional to the Breath Alcohol Concentration in the provided fixed volume sample. The fuel cell sensor is highly selective for alcohol. It does not respond to acetone or other substances found in the human breath after a fifteen-minute deprivation period.
