Blood and Urin Test
Blood Tests. The most accurate test for alcohol concentration is the blood test. Blood is extracted by a healthcare professional, stored in a vacuum container, then analyzed by a device. Utilizing a scientific method, usually gas chromatography mass spectrometry, the device calculates the concentration of alcohol in the blood and creates a printed result. If the actual result is at or above .08, you are charged with OVI . If the result is at or above .17, you are charged with OVI "high test". These limits are for whole blood; the limits are somewhat different if the test is conducted on blood serum or plasma. In the event that the blood is not drawn, collected, sealed, labeled, stored, transported, and analyzed in compliance with state regulations and laboratory protocol, the results of the blood test may be inadmissible.
Urine Tests. The least accurate test for alcohol concentration is the urine test. Urine is collected, stored in a glass container, next analyzed by a device. Using a scientific method, usually gas chromatography mass spectrometry, the device calculates the concentration of alcohol in the urine (grams per 100 ml) and generates a printed result. If the result is at or above .11, you are charged with OVI. If the result is at or above .238, you are charged with OVI "high test" . If the urine is not obtained, sealed, labeled, stored, transported, and analyzed in compliance with state regulations and laboratory protocol, the results of the urine test may be inadmissible.
