Research

Researchers who require monitoring of BrAC in live subjects may find the instruments examined in this study to be useful. The low-cost of the instruments may allow for more subjects to be tested in vivo. Researchers could provide breath alcohol instruments to subjects and remotely monitor the results. Conclusions from previous in vivo examinations (Ashdown et al., 2014; Delgado et al., 2017; Riordan et al., 2017), as well as the in vitro results of this study support the use of the instruments for limited research purposes. Researchers should acknowledge the limitations of the instruments, as well as perform accuracy checks to ensure the analytical performance falls within the necessary limits required by the investigation.
