AlcoScreen. This saliva alcohol test can detect just one drink, or simply the presence of alcohol, the Alco-Screen Saliva Alcohol Test. In laboratory conditions results as low as .005% have been detected. In typical usage the test strips detect amounts of .02% and below. The concentration of alcohol in saliva is comparable to that of blood. The AlcoScreen® alcohol test is a quick method to positively identify the presence of alcohol in saliva for blood alcohol concentrations. A simple color chart will allow you to determine a person's blood alcohol concentration ranging from 0.02% to 0.30%. For accurate results, do not place anything in the mouth for 15 minutes prior to taking the test.
