There is much debate on the intoxicator, I mean the intoxiliar, I mean the intoxilyzer. Proponents of it state that the machine will only read light absorbed by alcohol, while opponents state the machine often misreads other commonly found substances in the breath as alcohol, thus giving an inaccurate high reading. The intoxilyzer also assumes that everyone tested will have a blood/breath ration of 2100/1 (i.e. 2100 parts of alcohol in the blood for every 1 part of alcohol in the breath).

Yes. In a multicenter clinical study this test service, using blood from a finger stick obtained by non-medically trained participants, was proven to be greater than 99% accurate compared to a blood sample drawn by a medical professional and tested using current test methods. In this clinical trial approximately 4% of study participants were unable to collect enough sample to begin testing, and an additional 3% were unable to collect enough sample to receive a conclusive result.

The Q.E.D.? test can be used as an accurate screen in place of blood or breath tests. In clinical trials, saliva alcohol levels measured by the Q.E.D.? demonstrated high correlation to blood analyzed by gas chromatography (r=0.98). See similar questions...

Yes. The VAP Test is based on ultracentrifugation, the gold standard for reference lab lipid measurement. The test is processed at Atherotech's CLIA-approved diagnostic laboratory. In addition, Atherotech has the accuracy of the VAP Test confirmed by three highly recognized lipid standardization programs-the American Association of Bioanalysts, the Northwest Lipid Research Laboratories, and the Accutest Proficiency Testing Program.

The OptiGen direct mutation tests are exactly accurate. This means that the test gives clear readings in the laboratory; there is no issue of interpreting what we see. Numerous controls--absolute measures of accuracy--are used with every sample we process. The results for each dog will never change with age and will be the same whenever the same version of the test is repeated. See similar questions...

A breath test, or breathalyzer machine is designed to measure breath alcohol content (BrAC). When you blow very hard into one of these machines, it measures breath alcohol content from the alveolar air, deep in your lungs. See similar questions...

Yes, that's what I recommend to most people who ask me. The fact that you refused can't be used against you at trial. The same applies to a refusal to perform field sobriety tests. If you refuse the breath test at the police station after being arrested, your license will be suspended for 180 days if it is a 1st offense OUI charge. Refusal suspension will be for three years for a 2nd offense, or a first offense if you are under 21 (5 years for a second under 21 OUI charge). See similar questions...

Yes, unless you are a commercial driver the penalties that apply for refusing the PBT are relatively minor. Michigan Law provides that refusing a preliminary breath test is a civil infraction that caries a fine but no points. The same however is not true of the evidentiary breath test, that is, the one you are given at the police station. (The Datamaster test). A conviction for refusing this test is called an implied consent violation and will result in an automatic license suspension. See similar questions...

If you have had more than one drink, probably not. If you are a man that weighs over 200 lbs. then you should be fine with two drinks. Make certain that these are standard drinks and that you have not forgotten one or two somewhere. Call 210-222-1200 for your free alcohol concentration wheel, compliments of Simpson, Foster & Gold. It estimates your blood alcohol level based upon time, weight and number of drinks. See similar questions...

The first stage of a stress test is only 1.7 mph. If you're okay after 3 minutes at that speed then the speed increases. So just about anyone can take a stress test. See similar questions...

You cannot be physically forced to take the breath test. The law in Texas provides that if you refuse to give a specimen, your license may be suspended for at least 180 days, even if you beat your Houston DUI DWI case. The refusal may also be admitted as circumstantial evidence that you were intoxicated. A skilled Houston DUI lawyer can also show how the refusal is evidence of sobriety! See similar questions...
