Core offering

AGS Diagnósticos distributes and supports INMETRO-homologated alcohol and drug detection equipment (Alcolizer LE5, Alcolizer HH4, Contralco, Druglizer LE5) for law enforcement and corporate safety programs. The company operates its own laboratory for calibration, maintenance, and validation with RBC metrological traceability, and manufactures disposable mouthpieces in Brazil.

Product overview

AGS Diagnósticos offers a portfolio of diagnostic technology solutions for operational safety and fiscalization, centered on a family of alcohol and drug detection devices. The core product line spans the Alcolizer LE5 (INMETRO-homologated professional breathalyzer), Alcolizer HH4, Contralco, and Druglizer LE5, all supported by the company's own laboratory for calibration, maintenance, and validation services. The Alcolizer LE5 is the flagship offering, providing 6-second electrochemical sensing, Bluetooth-enabled data export, auditable digital records, and immediate printing — used by law-enforcement agencies (PRF, Lei Seca, DETRANs) and large corporations across Brazil's high-criticality sectors (industry, mining, ports, airports, and transport). The portfolio is rounded out by disposable mouthpieces manufactured in-house and a structured 4-step implementation methodology. All products are backed by ISO 9001-certified processes and metrological traceability under Brazil's RBC system.

Broad incumbents

• Drägerwerk: German global leader in safety and medical technology, including breath alcohol testing products (e.g., Alcotest series) used by law enforcement worldwide. Competes in the same regulatory-driven enforcement market as AGS but with broader portfolio across industrial safety, medical, and mining.

Direct peers

• Alcolizer Technology: Australian manufacturer of alcohol detection equipment using electrochemical fuel cell sensor technology. AGS is Alcolizer's authorized Brazilian distributor; both sell the Alcolizer LE5/HH4 product line with INMETRO-equivalent homologation requirements in their respective markets.
• Intoximeters, Inc. US-based manufacturer of evidential breath alcohol testing instruments used by law enforcement agencies. Direct product overlap with AGS's Alcolizer portfolio in the regulated evidential breath testing category.
• Lion Laboratories: UK-based manufacturer of evidential breath alcohol testing equipment (Lion Intoxilyzer range) used by police forces globally. Direct peer in the same product category serving law enforcement customers with comparable metrological certification requirements.
• Lifeloc Technologies: US public company (LFT) manufacturing professional breath alcohol testing equipment for law enforcement and workplace testing. Direct competitor in evidential and screening breathalyzer categories with similar electrochemical sensor technology.
• Alcohol Countermeasure Systems (ACS): Canadian manufacturer of breath alcohol testing instruments and interlock devices serving law enforcement and commercial markets. Comparable product portfolio to AGS with similar focus on regulated, defensible alcohol testing.
• AK Global Technology: US-based provider of breath alcohol testing equipment and consumables serving law enforcement, corrections, and workplace markets. Comparable product portfolio and customer base overlap with AGS's alcohol testing offerings.

Regional players

• Dräger Brasil: Brazilian subsidiary of Drägerwerk distributing industrial safety and alcohol detection products locally. Direct competitor in the Brazilian market with comparable customer segments (DETRANs, mining, transportation) but broader product portfolio and direct OEM backing.

Emerging players

• Sentech Korea: Korean manufacturer of alcohol detection products including semiconductor and fuel cell sensors. Competes in similar on-site breathalyzer category with growing presence in international markets including Latin America.

Others

• Sertec (Serviços Técnicos de Calibração): Brazilian calibration and metrology service provider operating in similar laboratory-based regulatory compliance space. Comparable service offering to AGS's calibration business, though focused on broader industrial metrology rather than breath alcohol specialization.
