Saint Louis / Missouri / United States
Although there are advantages when testing with blood to determine alcohol concentrations in the human body, the sample collection process can be viewed as both invasive, painful and the analysis process time consuming and costly. In the 1930 s technology was created that took advantage of the fact that alcohol was found in the deep lung breath in proportion to the alcohol found in the blood. Breath testing instruments, which Intoximeters specializes in producing, were manufactured to capture a sample for analysis. Breath analysis has since evolved into a technology that offers a low cost, highly accurate, rapid analysis of a breath sample that is simply and painlessly collected. Intoximeters is headquartered in St. Louis.
