Muster: chemical equation in “Alcotest”-tubes in black
From 1953 to 1995 “Alcotest”-tubes served as the dominant method to determine the degree of alcoholisation of car drivers (Manufacturer: Dräger Sicherheitstechnik GmbH, Lübeck). The system was quite simple: The test-tubes were stoked up with potassium dichromate and changed their color when alcohol-containing tidal air ran through them. Today small electronic devices with electrochemical sensors and infrared sensors are used for the same purpose.
“I have taken more out of alcohol than alcohol has taken out of me.”
Winston Churchill (British Prime Minister)
