| Introduction |
 |
|
| |
The Alco-Sensor IV is a hand-held, portable breath alcohol instrument.
It has an automatic sampling system and provides the operator with step by
step instruction for fail-safe testing. The product is designed for
screening and evidential testing environments where accuracy, portability,
dependability, ease of use and cost are the main concerns.

| How it Works |
|
|
| |
The instrument utilizes an electrochemical sensor (fuel cell) to quantify
alcohol in the provided sample. The fuel cell is a porous disk with a thin
layer of platinum black on both faces. The disk is saturated with an
electrolyte and mounted in a valve assembly that is designed to draw a fixed
volume sample across the surface of the fuel cell. When a subject's breath
sample is drawn across the top surface of the cell, any alcohol that comes
in contact with the cell's surface is broken down chemically. For each
molecule of alcohol that is broken down a given number of electrons are
freed during the process. The number of electrons generated are in
proportion to the amount of alcohol in the sample. By measuring the number
of electrons (the resulting electrical signal) a digital BrAC (Breath
Alcohol Concentration) is calculated and reported.
