BAC Measurement Methods
Understanding Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) and Its Measurements
Understanding how Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is measured is crucial for those facing DUI charges. A person's BAC level can be the difference between innocence and legal repercussion. For this reason, having a clear and scientific understanding of how this measurement is taken and what it means is vital, as it can affect the outcome of a DUI case. Here at Ely Valentine & Reed, our expertise not only lies in breaking down the complex science of BAC measurement but also in connecting defendants with skilled attorneys who can scrutinize and challenge inaccurate BAC readings.
BAC measurement methods vary, but breathalyzers and blood tests are most common. Incorrect handling of these tests can critically impact their accuracy. As experts in the field, we equip you with knowledge and provide support to navigate these legal waters. If you've had a questionable BAC result, we're here to help. Don't hesitate to reach out to us at (432) 755-0990 for any queries or to book an appointment.
The Science Behind BAC Testing
When alcohol enters the bloodstream, it affects the body in numerous ways. BAC tests aim to quantify this level of alcohol, providing a snapshot of a person's impairment. Breathalyzers measure the alcohol present in one's breath, converting this measurement to an estimated BAC level, while blood tests directly measure the alcohol concentration in the blood. Although these methods are widely accepted, they are not infallible and are subject to human and instrumental error.
At Ely Valentine & Reed, we believe in keeping our clients informed. With a full understanding of these methodologies, individuals are more empowered to address potential inaccuracies that can arise during the testing process. By staying informed, defendants can effectively contribute to their defense strategy.
The Implications of Breathalyzer Tests
Breathalyzers are commonly used due to their non-invasive nature and instant results. However, a breathalyzer's calibration, the user's technique, and external factors can affect readings. Understanding this tool's dependency on variables is the first step in realizing why BAC results from these devices can be contested in court.
Our team acknowledges the complexities of the legal system and the importance of accurate BAC readings. Should you have questions about the validity of a breathalyzer test or need legal assistance, please feel free to contact us at (432) 755-0990. We're committed to guiding you through this challenging time.
Understanding Blood Test Protocols
Blood tests deliver a more precise BAC level but are not without their shortcomings. The proper handling and storage of blood samples play a critical role in ensuring accurate results. Missteps in this process can result in compromised data, providing grounds for questioning the test outcomes.
At Ely Valentine & Reed, our goal is to enlighten our clients on the nitty-gritty of these processes. By doing so, we help you grasp the potential fallacies in BAC blood testing that could be pivotal in your defense.

Procedural Shortcomings in BAC Testing
Specific procedures must be followed for BAC tests to be considered reliable. When these protocols are not strictly adhered to, the resulting BAC reading can be challenged. Our experienced team can help you understand where these procedural lapses might occur.
Moments such as improper maintenance of equipment, inadequate training of personnel, or even the timing of the test relative to alcohol consumption can all introduce errors. At Ely Valentine & Reed, we're dedicated to highlighting these critical points that could significantly influence your case's outcome.
