Yes. It is very important that a line in the test region (no matter how faint) must be considered a line, and must be considered negative. This is how drug testers in Australia are trained. This is the most common question we receive. The colour, or density of the line have no meaning on the drug test. This answer was backed up by our manufacturing engineers. As you can see by the picture A below, there are variations in line densities. This does NOT mean that there could be traces of the drug in lighter lines. Picture B has a non-negative result for AMP Amphetamines as there is no line at all ..read more

Police in all Australian states have stopped roadside random breath tests (RBT’s) due to coronavirus fears. This also extends to drug testing. “This is about keeping people safe.” Says Police association president Tony King The reason for stopping RBT’s is if one person has the corona virus and contaminates the officer’s gloves or breathalyser, then they could possibly contaminate the next 40, 50, 100 people! Police will still be pulling suspect drivers over and subjecting them to alcohol and drug testing…. but just not at a roadside RBT station. This will scale up the mobile testing teams, p ..read more

Accuracy of Alcohol Breath Tests today is extremely high, mostly due to the rise of fuel cell technology. With so many people being caught out after a few drinks… and even the morning after a big night, can breathalysers be relied on? Semi conductors You’ll find semiconductor sensors in breathalysers for $5-$100. They were used in old versions of alcohol breath testers. You can still find them for sale, but don’t trust them to give you accuracy. They work by heating up a coil, and when alcohol is pushed through the chamber by your breath, the resistance changes, and this resistance change is m ..read more
