Alcohol Rapid Test Strip is intended for use as a rapid method to detect the presence of alcohol in urine greater than 0.04%(40mg/dL). The alcohol rapid test Strip is intended for the detection of ethyl alcohol in human urine. To confirm the concentration of positive specimens, an alternate, non-enzymatic technology such as headspace gas chromatography should be used
Alcohol intoxication can lead to loss of alertness, coma, death and as well as birth defects. The BAC at which a person becomes impaired is variable. The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has established a BAC of 0.02% (20mg/dL) as the cut-off level at which an individual is considered positive for the presence of alcohol. Determination of ethyl alcohol in urine, blood and saliva is commonly used for measuring legal impairment, alcohol poisoning, etc. Gas chromatography techniques and enzymatic methods are commercially available for the determination of ethyl alcohol in human fluids. Alcohol Rapid Test Strip is designed to detect ethyl alcohol in urine specimens
