Maine Construction

Proprietary Sensor Technology.
Unparalleled Precision.

Every BACtrack breathalyser is engineered around the two factors
that most influence accuracy: sensor type and breath capture.

Blufire® Enlarged Fuel Cell Sensor Technology

Engineered by BACtrack from technology used in experimental vehicle fuel mixing, our proprietary Blufire® Fuel Cell Sensors deliver the most accurate, consistent BAC results.

Optimal Breath Capture

Breathalyser test accuracy begins with an optimal breath capture mechanism through. BACtrack alcohol breathalysers are carefully designed to exclude ambient air, fumes, and other airborne gases that can contaminate results.

Sample retest functionality solidifies the accuracy.

Accuracy Focused Engineering

We focus on our technology so BACtrack’s Pro-grade series consistently outperforms.

Precise Results

The linear response of the Blufire® Fuel Cell Sensor Technology provides precise results over the complete range of alcohol concentrations expected in the breath, from 0.000 to 0.400 % BAC. BACtrack Blufire® portable breathalyzers can accurately detect trace levels of alcohol & reliably handle very high BACs.

Consistency

Blufire® models produce the most consistent and reliable results. For example, they are more likely to show the same test result when someone is tested repeatedly in a very short period of time. This means Blufire® BACtracks easily handle multiple high-frequency breath tests.

High BAC Testing

Blufire® models are consistently accurate at higher BAC concentrations. If someone is very intoxicated, for example at 0.22% BAC, these models are more likely to provide an accurate test result as compared to semiconductor models, which are less accurate at higher BAC values.

No False Positives

Blufire® models will not show a false positive due to the presence of acetone, which some semiconductor models misread for someone who is diabetic or on a low calorie diet.
