Intox Breathalyzer System

The Intox Breathalyzer System uses both electrochemical and infrared sensor technology to analyse breath samples for alcohol. The Intox EC/IR II combines these two methods within one desktop system. This provides operators with controlled breath sampling and alcohol measurement during testing.

The system monitors the breath sample as the subject provides it. Infrared technology measures alcohol and carbon dioxide during the breath cycle. An electrochemical sensor then measures the alcohol concentration within the accepted breath sample.

Intox Breathalyzer System – Dual Sensor Technology

The Intox EC/IR II uses electrochemical (EC) and infrared (IR) technology for different parts of the analysis process.

The infrared system monitors alcohol and carbon dioxide concentrations in real time. Monitoring carbon dioxide helps the instrument assess the breath profile during sampling.

The electrochemical sensor provides the quantitative alcohol measurement from the breath sample. Combining these technologies gives the operator additional information during the testing process.

How the Intox EC/IR II Breathalyzer Works

During a test, the subject provides a breath sample through the instrument’s sampling system. The analyser monitors the sample as it enters the equipment.

The infrared system tracks the breath throughout the sampling process. Once the instrument receives an acceptable sample, the electrochemical sensor measures its alcohol concentration.

This controlled process makes the system suitable for professional environments where operators need consistent breath alcohol testing equipment.

Professional Breath Alcohol Testing Equipment

The Intox Breathalyzer System provides a desktop solution for organisations carrying out controlled breath alcohol testing.

Potential applications include:

• Police and law enforcement
• Custody environments
• Roadside enforcement support
• Workplace alcohol testing
• Transport operations
• Occupational safety programmes
• Training environments
• Demonstration and education
• Controlled testing facilities

Operators should follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and any applicable local procedures when carrying out breath tests.

EC and IR Sensor Technology

Using two sensor technologies allows the instrument to perform different functions during a single breath test.

The infrared sensor continuously monitors the breath sample. The electrochemical sensor then provides the alcohol concentration measurement.

This combination forms an important part of the Intox EC/IR II sampling and analysis system.

Intox Breathalyzer System for Professional Use

The Intox EC/IR II provides professional users with a structured method for collecting and analysing breath samples.

Its combination of infrared monitoring and electrochemical measurement makes it suitable for applications that require controlled alcohol testing.

The desktop configuration also makes the equipment suitable for permanent or semi-permanent testing locations.

For organisations requiring professional breath alcohol testing equipment, the Intox EC/IR II provides an established approach to breath sampling and alcohol analysis.
