Abstract

A device combining a fuel-cell-type breathalyzer with an electrochemical saliva drug test. The saliva drug tester comprises a disposable test strip-electrode module assembly and an analyzer module. The saliva is squeezed out of an absorbent swab when the test strip is inserted into the electrode module. The electrode module can also carry information that is read and evaluated by the analyzer, e.g. for verification of the electrode module.
