Suparee portable breathalyzer SP-TK268 – quick, accurate checks before you drive
A handy little gadget that takes the guesswork out of deciding whether you should drive home. The SUPAREE SP-TK268 portable breathalyzer uses an advanced semiconductor sensor to deliver blood alcohol concentration (BAC) readings in roughly 5 seconds. It’s built for personal, non-professional use — perfect for nights out, family do’s, business dinners or travel when you want a straightforward read before getting behind the wheel.
How it works
Switch the unit on with one button, wait about 20 seconds for it to warm up, then blow steadily for 3–5 seconds. The device analyses the sample and shows the result on the backlit LCD. You can view results in %BAC, ‰BAC or mg/L, and the colour and sound cues let you see at a glance whether you’re in the safe, caution or danger zone.
Key features
- High-precision sensing: semiconductor sensor with fine resolution (display to 0.001 BAC) for quick, reliable readings.
- Visual and audio alerts: green for safe (silent), yellow for caution (intermittent beeps), red for danger (rapid beeps) — easy to interpret even in low light.
- Hygienic mouthpieces: the kit includes 10 washable, reusable mouthpieces so different people can use it without fuss.
- Portable and lightweight: measures 132 x 82 x 22 mm and weighs around 120 g — slips neatly into a glovebox or pocket.
- Runs on 2 AA batteries: no charging cable needed (batteries not included), so swaps are quick and straightforward.
- Energy smart: auto-shutdown after the test and a low-battery indicator mean it won’t let you down unexpectedly.
- Memory and test capacity: stores the last 10 results and is rated for repeated use, making it suitable for regular, non-professional checks.

Notes and practical tips
This is a personal screening device, not a professional police instrument — it helps you make informed choices but doesn’t replace official testing. For best accuracy, wait at least 20 minutes after your last drink before testing and avoid eating, smoking or brushing your teeth immediately beforehand. If you’re unsure or legal limits are a concern, don’t drive and arrange an official test or alternative transport.
Some people wonder about calibration and long‑term accuracy. Like most consumer breathalysers, periodic calibration or professional servicing is recommended if you use it heavily or over many months. It’s also sensible to keep spare AA batteries and an extra mouthpiece or two to hand.
All in all, the SUPAREE SP-TK268 is a straightforward, sensible tool to help you make safer choices — quick readings, clear alerts and small enough to take anywhere.
