The Rapid Response™ Alcohol Test Strip (Saliva) is a rapid, highly sensitive method to detect the presence of alcohol in saliva and provide an approximation of relative blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The Rapid Response™ Alcohol Test Strip (Saliva) consists of a plastic strip with a reaction pad attached at the tip. On contact with solutions of alcohol, the reaction pad will rapidly change color depending on the concentration of alcohol present. Inappropriate consumption of alcohol can be a contributing factor to many accidents, injuries, and medical conditions.

Aids in determining recent alcohol consumption and impairment
Two-thirds of all adults drink alcohol.¹ The blood alcohol concentration at which a person becomes impaired is variable dependent upon the individual. Each individual has specific parameters that a ect the level of impairment such as size, weight, eating habits and alcohol tolerance. Inappropriate consumption of alcohol can be a contributing factor to many accidents, injuries, and medical conditions.
It is well established that the concentration of alcohol in saliva is comparable to that of blood.2,3 The Rapid Response™ Alcohol Test Strip (Saliva) consists of a plastic strip with a reaction pad attached at the tip. On contact with solutions of alcohol, the reaction pad will rapidly change color depending on the concentration of alcohol present. The pad employs a solid-phase chemistry which uses a highly specific enzyme reaction.
The detection limit on the Rapid Response™ Alcohol Test Strip (Saliva) is from 0.02% to 0.30% for approximate relative blood alcohol level.
