AlcoSense designs devices for everyday convenience, supporting safe and responsible drinking habits. They help provide peace of mind whether you’re on a night out, at an event, or getting ready to drive.
Know your BAC for responsible choices
In Australia, knowing your blood alcohol content (BAC) is essential. Strict legal limits are set at 0.00% for learners and probationary drivers, and 0.05% for fully licensed drivers.
AlcoSense breathalysers provide fast, accurate BAC readings, helping you stay within safe limits. Whether you are preparing for a long drive or relaxing after an event, these breathalysers give clear results, helping you drink responsibly.
Knowing your BAC helps you make responsible choices and avoid the serious risks of drunk driving, including drink driving penalties, injuries, and even fatalities.
Another measurement to gauge one’s intoxication levels is breath alcohol concentration or BrAC.

How to use an AlcoSense Breathalyser
Using a breath alcohol tester is the most convenient way to measure your blood alcohol level. An AlcoSense breathalyser enhances this convenience with quick results and easy-to-use features.
Using an AlcoSense breathalyser is simple and efficient. Start by waiting 20 minutes after eating or drinking for the most accurate results. Turn on the device and allow it to warm up.
Once the unit displays a ‘blow’ prompt, it means that it is ready to administer a breath test. Blow into the unit’s mouthpiece until it clicks, signalling that it has received your breath sample.
Within seconds, your BAC reading will appear, giving you instant feedback on your alcohol levels. This straightforward process helps you monitor your BAC easily, enabling safe decisions with just a quick check.
Benefits of fuel cell breathalysers
AlcoSense breathalysers work using advanced fuel cell sensors, known for providing precise, reliable BAC readings. Fuel cell sensor technology is also employed by law enforcement portable breathalysers.
Unlike older semiconductor sensors, fuel cell technology is resilient against factors like temperature changes, delivering accurate results with fewer false positives. Fuel cell sensors also last longer when maintained regularly through calibrations. This is partly why Andatech offers Lifetime Guarantee on units that are calibrated regularly.
Some units employ platinum fuel cell technology for better performance. Their accuracy makes AlcoSense ideal for anyone who needs a reliable personal breathalyser in various situations.

Andatech’s calibration plans make it easy for you to get accurate BAC readings, saving you time, stress, and money while ensuring a great experience. By joining the calibration plan, you will get reminders and priority service. This helps your device last longer and stay ready for accurate readings.
