Chemical Testing in South Carolina

Columbia DUI Lawyer

If you are arrested for DUI, then you may be subject to chemical testing in order to determine your intoxication level, and possibly to have your charges increased. Facing charges of drunk driving can pose significant difficulties in your life, your future could be damaged, your career could be severely hurt, and you could suffer other consequences if you are convicted.

Breath & Blood Tests

Two of the more common types of chemical test that are used to determine BAC are the breath and the blood test.

Datamaster Breath Test
In the state of South Carolina, the only legal breath test device is known as the Datamaster (DMT). This type of breath test utilizes an infrared technology in order to calculate the amount of alcohol in a driver's breath. A breathalyzer is used to determine the amount of alcohol in a person's system, by a reading of alcohol on their breath. While this may seem like a highly scientific form of testing, it is crucial to recognize that the readings obtained through this test are often highly unreliable. Breath tests measure the amount of alcohol on a person's breath, therefore the reading can be drastically affected by a small amount of alcohol still remaining in a person's mouth.

Blood Test
After your arrest, you may be taken to a medical official who will draw a sample of your blood and test it for alcohol content. While this test is far more reliable than the breath test, it is crucial to recognize that when people conducting the test and handling evidence, there is always the possibility for human error.
