A method and apparatus for measuring the concentration of breath alcohol or other reactants is provided in which a breath sample is introduced to a fuel cell, wherein the number of electrons from the fuel cell resulting from oxidation of the alcohol in the breath rises to a peak and thereafter falls to a substantially steady minimum base to form a curve. The present method is based on the discovery that this curve, regardless of reactant concentration or age of fuel cell, is a log-normal distribution curve.
