Interpretation
One Step Alcohol Saliva Test Strip is intended for use as a rapid method to detect the presence of alcohol in saliva for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) greater than 0.02%. It has been published that the concentration of alcohol in saliva is almost equal to that in blood
Intended Use
Rapid Saliva Alcohol Test Strip is intended for use as a rapid method to detect the presence of alcohol in saliva for blood alcohol concentration (BAC) greater than 0.02%. It has been published that the concentration of alcohol in saliva is almost equal to that in blood.
The rapid test is intended for the semi-quantization of ethyl alcohol in human saliva. To confirm the concentration of positive specimens, an alternate, non-enzymatic technology such as headspace gas chromatography should be used.
Test Procedure
1. Remove a strip from the foil pouch by tearing at the notch and place it on a level surface
2. Saturate the reactive pad by dipping the reaction pad into the saliva specimen collected in a sputum cup, or by applying saliva directly to the reaction pad. After 10 seconds, shake off the excess saliva
3. Immediately start timer and at 2 minutes, compare the reactive pad with the provided colored chart below

Package:one strip in one foil pouch
Q1: What's the method u use to do the test?
A: Colloidal Gold Method.
Q2: What's ur MOQ ?
A: Always, for strip format, the MOQ is 5000pcs. While for cassette format, MOQ
is 2000pcs, same as midstream.
Q3: What's ur packing of the tests?
A: If u choose the low cost, we will suggest u the bulk packing to go. Which
means 1 test in a single pouch, then 100/40 pouches in a plastic bag, 50 bags
in a carton. If u need to sell in pharmacy/chain shop or some countries which
have strict requirements about the packing, u can choose to pack in a box, like
100pcs in a box, or even 1 test in a single box.
Q4: What's the main differences when comparing products from different
suppliers?
A: U can compare the mainly features of the test: Accuracy, Sensitivity,
Specificity, and then the Price.
Q5: Some tests can be tested with serum/plasma or with whole blood, so
what's the difference?
A: Well, if the specimen is whole blood, people will need buffer, lancet and
alcohol swab to help the test. If they buy all the accessories, they can test
very easily at home. But if the specimen is serum/plasma, it will need
centrifuge to separate serum from whole blood first. This way, it's better to
use at lab or hospital. And in some words, serum/plasma test will always give
a more accurate results.
Q6: How can i distinguish a good test kit?
A: U can judge from the 4facts:Technical data: Such as the accuracy,
specificity and sensitivity.
Pouch sealing: Tight enough. If the foil pouch is not sealed well, the humidity
in circustance will destroy the reactivity of antibodies labeled on NC
membrane. Shelf life will be shorten down.
Flow speed: The shorter the better?? NO!! The reaction of antibodies on NC
membrane and antigens in specimen usually requires quite a while to work
sufficiently. U can refer to the instruction for more accurate time.
Background: Good test usually gives clean background after running. If there
are red smears in the reading window, it usually caused by bad colloidal gold
technology or bad NC membrane. Sometimes, the defect caused false positive
result in practice
