Intoximeters Information

Since 1945, Intoximeters, Inc. has been pioneers in manufacturing and developing law enforcement grade, evidential breath alcohol analyzers to assist in DUI enforcement. As industry pioneers, our instruments are designed for accuracy, durability and operator safety, with the highest quality and longest lasting fuel cell in the market today. We offer a range of devices for law enforcement and workplace testing, including handheld, portable, and desktop evidential instruments. But our story begins even before the company was founded. In 1937, Dr. Glenn C. Forrester discovered and patented a process for capturing alcohol from a breath sample. The result was the development of a portable, roadside instrument used to collect evidence in suspected drunk driving cases. Eight years later, Dr. Forrester founded Intoximeters and today, second and third generation family members own and operate our business. Intoximeters is passionate about breath alcohol testing -- not only providing superior instruments in our entire line of Handheld Alco-Sensors, Portable Breath Testers, and Desktop Analyzers, but also offering comprehensive support through training in the operation and maintenance of our instruments and software. Our extensive experience and exceptional performance and service have made us the global leader in breath alcohol testing. Intoximeters is also the exclusive distributor of Abbott’s SoToxa™ Oral Fluid Mobile Test System a handheld analyzer that provides the optimal combination of speed, ease of use, reliability, and accuracy for drug testing at the roadside. The analyzer has been designed to meet the high performance demands of law enforcement. It can detect up to 6 drug classes within 5 minutes from a single oral fluid collection sample. Weighing in at under 2 lbs. and fitting comfortably in your hand, it is a truly portable analyzer.
