AlcoPro to offer the HOUND® CANNABIS BREATHALYZER to customers.
Knoxville, TN; April 16, 2024 – AlcoPro, a reputable supplier of premium drug and alcohol testing products and training solutions, and Hound Labs, creators of the HOUND® CANNABIS BREATHALYZER, announce a strategic partnership/agreement/collaboration to help employers balance workplace safety with employee fairness and privacy.
The HOUND® CANNABIS BREATHALYZER advances cannabis testing by detecting THC in breath, where it remains for just a few hours after use. Compared to traditional tests like oral fluid, urine, and hair – which can detect THC for several days or weeks after use – the Hound® solution can isolate recent cannabis use, providing objective data to employers as cannabis legalization continues to expand across the nation.
The partnership between AlcoPro and Hound Labs supports an innovative approach to cannabis testing by enabling employers to develop workday-specific cannabis policies that enhance an employer’s capacity to attract and retain talent – all while reducing the risks associated with workplace cannabis use.
“We take great care in collaborating with reliable partners who can provide quality-tested solutions that simplify drug and alcohol testing for our customers. The HOUND® CANNABIS BREATHALYZER is the only breath system available that can accurately detect THC usage within a short period of time. This enables our customers to conduct employee testing with greater confidence, thereby enhancing overall safety and performance.” – Sam Smithey, President at AlcoPro.
“The ability to isolate recent cannabis use gives employers a solution that’s safer than discontinuing testing, fairer than levering other tests that detect legacy use, and more private for employees – thus widening candidate pools and reducing hiring and retention costs. At Hound Labs, we’re excited to work with Alcopro and their employer clients to bring a new level of safety, fairness, and privacy to workplace cannabis testing.” – Aaron Atkinson, Executive Vice President of Marketing at Hound Labs
Cannabis breath testing and its short detection window solve one of the most complex and unintended challenges of rapid cannabis legalization: accurately differentiating between potentially high-risk workday use and largely irrelevant off-the-job cannabis use. This partnership will allow us to share this groundbreaking technology and provide a solution to help employers navigate cannabis drug testing during this new era of legalization.
