LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, October 16, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- An innovative way of monitoring alcohol consumption around the clock is now available at AlphaBiolabs’ nine Walk in Centres located across the UK. The SCRAM CAM® alcohol-testing bracelet is worn on the ankle and tests for the presence of consumed alcohol in perspiration every 30 minutes.

Testing for alcohol in blood or breath provides a snapshot reading and shows the level of alcohol in the system at the time the test was taken. Conversely, hair strand analysis can build up a profile of excessive alcohol consumption over a period of up to 12 months, thereby providing a historic overview. SCRAM CAM® testing is the first of its kind to detect the entire drinking event, from start to finish, as it happens. Known as sobriety tagging, continuous alcohol monitoring can provide local authorities, courts and child-protection agencies with the additional tools to change behaviours in vulnerable and higher-risk alcohol-dependent clients.

This non-invasive method of testing for alcohol is unique and will be favoured by those who dread blood tests, injections and needles. It will also make it easier to adhere to low or no-alcohol schemes as samples are collected on a continuous basis and tested every half-an-hour, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The results are automatically gathered and uploaded without the need for an individual to travel anywhere. As such, the frequency and pattern of alcohol consumption can be easily shown.

The water-resistant and tamper-evident bracelets are being launched this month by AlphaBiolabs at the SCRAM CAM® alcohol-detection centre within the clinics. Fully trained nurses will fit the bracelets, monitor the results and provide reports after an agreed time period.

“This is the most accurate and comprehensive method of measuring alcohol consumption on the market”, said Managing Director David Thomas. “A wealth of information is reported in an easy-to-understand format.”
