Single-use alcohol breathalyzers are disposable devices which are designed to measure a person’s blood alcohol content, analyzed from their breath. These are small and portable. They provide a convenient and quick way to estimate the level of intoxication. This disposable nature of the device ensures freshness and avoids any potential contamination from repeated use. The main component of breathalyzer is its sensor technology. The advancements in sensor technology such as fuel cell sensors and semiconductor sensors have improved the accuracy of blood alcohol content measurements.
Advancements in Sensor Technologies are Expected to Boost the Patent Industry Growth
The advancements in sensor technologies have contributed to the development of effective breathalyzer devices. Advanced breathalyzers incorporate fuel cell technology which provides accurate readings. It also reduces the likelihood of false positives as compared to older semiconductor models. The devices using fuel cells provide immediate alcohol/ethanol-specific readouts. Moreover, they are not sensitive to acetone. There is an increase in patent activity which focuses on enhancing the performance of breathalyzers. Patents covering these sensor technologies are crucial for companies that are seeking the establishment of competitive advantages in the market.
Integration of Digital Capabilities is Expected to Propel Single Use Alcohol Breathalyzers Patent Industry
The integration of digital capabilities enables the device to connect with smartphones and other digital platforms to monitor real-time data. For instance, the SCRAM alcohol monitoring bracelet is a wearable device, which is used by law enforcement bodies to continuously monitor alcohol consumption by transdermal alcohol concentration measurement. The development of these advanced technologies stimulates patent activity as companies strive to make their product unique in the breathalyzer industry.
The report will cover the following sections in detail:
Mraket Breakup by Technology
The breakup based on technology includes fuel cell technology, semiconductor oxide sensor technology, infrared spectroscopy, and others.
Semiconductor oxide sensors use a tin-oxide substance to measure the blood alcohol content. With a heater coil, a tin dioxide sensor heats a steel mesh film, and the resistance is changed when exhaled alcohol hits the heated film. The change in sensor resistance is measured as the change of the output voltage across the fixed or variable resistor.
Detailed technological data will be provided for all specified segments classified in single use alcohol breathalyzers report.
