Welcome to the Andatech Blog!

For years now, the greater public has had the opportunity to utilise the convenient and sometimes money saving benefits of personal, hand held breathalysers. Although tainted by mediocre, cheap toys posing as breathalysers in the past, the underlying value of such instruments still holds true.

Technology gets better, prices come down, customer service goes up along with technical and warranty support… It’s the way our cozy, developed world spins. Take for instance MP3 players, computers, cars… actually almost everything except petrol tends to follow suit. The most unfortunate thing about the personal breathalyzer industry is that it does not always reflect the trends of the market. Technology is getting better, prices are coming down and support for the products getting better. HOWEVER, it has been seen time and time again that they don’t always happening along side of each other.

Here’s my point:

Technology gets better: but you pay for it, that is, if you can get your hands on it.
Prices come down: but still using the oldest, cheapest technology available, rendering the ‘breathalyzer’ as nothing more than a key-ring with flashing lights every time the wind blows.
Customer support goes up: But only if you buy the really expensive models, and the supplier is based in Australia.

For a lot of companies, a quick buck, easy money, hassle free transactions is what they are looking for. Consumers on the other hand tend to be looking for quality, reliability and accuracy from the breathalysers they purchase. Breathalysers are on the market as a tool to gauge ones breathe alcohol concentration, from which they can make a more informed decision on if to drive or not. Very few people who purchase cheap ‘gadget’ models expect the breathalyser to be accurate, let alone last more than a few months. However the consumers who spend that extra money should expect a quality unit that will serve them well into the future. And hopefully keep them and their loved ones safe on the road.

It is for this reason that Andatech aims to only supply quality breathalysers, at reasonable prices (however you do still get what you pay for) with the facilities to offer full, ongoing support for all Andatech, Alcoscan and AlcoSense breathalysers. This market plays an important role in the peace of mind and road safety sectors. And we should work harder to ensure that it stays that way, rather than be tarnished by toys and gadgets, that can not only mislead people and put them in harms way, but also wastes the money of the un-expecting buyer.

Now that I have blown my trumpet for the morning, I can get back to spreading the word, hopefully making the roads safer for your loved ones.08

Its strange, the things we all take for granted. For instance being able top drive to work, drive to Maccas, drop off and pick up the kids from school. It is these things that in a heart beat can be taken away from you.

If you enjoy a few drinks over lunch or like to head to the pub after work, you need a portable breathalyser. Americans would say portable breathalyzer, but with out splitting hairs it is indeed the same thing. The morning after a big night a portable breath tester will tell you if your breath alcohol concentration or ‘BAC’ is within the legal limit. Being a portable breath tester means you can take it with you, to the pub, back to a friends place, down to the kebab hut and back to your friends’ house.

Where ever you go it is there when you need it. This is a small precaution to ensure you are not caught drink driving the next day, saving you time money and hassle… Its the small things that count.
