New 2009 model DA5000 Digital Breathalyser now best value breathalyser

New 2009 model DA5000 Digital Breathalyser goes from strength to strength

The new 2009 model DA5000 breathalysers are proving very popular as expected. They are compact, highly accuarte, robust & are ideal for personal or business use. 

The DA5000 breathalyser is proving very popular because it offers great value for money & high accuracy at an affordable price, particularly important in this current economic climate.

It also has a replaceable sensor which means that it never needs recalibrating. When the sensor is warn out, you merely buy a replacement pre-calibrated sensor, instead of having to send the unit back to the supplier for calibrating. This saves you time and money.

Another advantage to the DA5000 breathalizer is that it can be used with either the professional or standard mouthpieces, and these may be purchased in bulk.

Cheap Breathalyser stocking filler-AL2500

At this time of year we are often asked for advice from customers purchasing for presents.

Everyone is looking for the holy grail of low cost and high accuracy in an easy to use sub £30 breathalyser.

We suggest a good compromise digital breathalyser for personal use is the AL2500 and AL2500 prime breathalyser models. These 2 breathalysers look identical apart from the silver finish on the AL2500 and black finish on the prime. Internally they are slightly different with greater flow checking built into the AL2500 prime breathalyser version.

They are the size and shape of mobile phones, take standard AA batteries and will give 300-700 tests before the accuracy of the calibration goes. The Al2500 units are not designed to have sensor changes, so in most cases they should be used and replaced as a consumable breath tester. (the cost of breathalyser calibration service for the Al2500 at an approved service centre exceeds the purchase costs)

The Al2500 breathalysers come nicely boxed and presented with batteries and user guides, are easy to wrap and make an ideal low cost breathalyser for personal use. Accuracy is +/-0.01%BAC under control testing, but the lack of a sealed tube sample system does reduce the overall accuracy slightly in the field. With an audible alarm set at 0.05%BAC (UK prosecution noral vehicle is currently 0.08%BAC (date 10.12.08)) both of the AL2500 breathalysers offer excellent value for money.

Total UK Breathalysers sales grew by 12.8% compared like to like sales for the first 11 months of 2007. Consumer sales, which usually peak in December are expected to fall, however company and professional sales have actually increased.

Breathalyser Mouthpieces-what are the differences ?

Breathalyser mouthpieces are used with all top end and professional quality breathalysers. They serve two purposes.

  1. To form a sealed tube allowing only lung breath to enter the sampling sensor chamber
  2. Prevent saliva contamination and physical contact of the digital breathalyser

On older CA2000 based models a simple cover is available, usually refered to as “breathalyser cover” to differentiate it from the longer mouth pieces or tubes (which also fit these models)

Universal breathalyser mouth piece tubes are available in standard or professional options. In the professional option the breathalyser mouthpiece tube incorporates a one way or uni-directional valve. This only allows the passage of breath into the breathalyser, and closes if the pressure becomes negative, preventing the breathaliser triggering if the sampler sucks on the tube in an attempt to prevent accurate sampling.

The professional uni-directional breathalyser mouthpiece tubes are recommended for all compliance or screening breathalyser test environments, as the extra chain of custody offered increases overall accuracy.

 Key features

When choosing a breathalyser look for a breathalyser requiring mouth pieces. These prevent infection control risk and increase accuracy. Units that you simply blow at, will never achieve the same accuracy, even with the same electronics, and are a false economy.

Mouth pieces are mainly used as disposable as this prevents any infection control risk.

If breathalysers are being purchased for individual use or family use where infection risk is not an issue, they are robust enough to last the lifetime of the breathalyser and most are supplied with 3-5 mouth pieces. They can be washed and sterlilised using Milton or other home sterilising solutions, and even go through dish-washers

For employment or clinic screening buy a combination of standard and professional mouth pieces.
