Arizona DUI Blood Testing
Some police departments, do blood tests rather than breath tests. Two test tubes of your blood are drawn from your arm and then sent to a lab that tests one of the vials of blood using a gas chromatograph. Usually it takes 4 - 6 weeks for the lab results to come back.
It is not unusual, now, for a police officer to be the one to draw the blood from your arm. Many police departments have sent their officers to courses to become phlebotomists. Unfortunately the courts have upheld the legality of police officers acting as phlebotomists.
A proper blood draw, proper handling of the blood sample, and proper testing methods at the lab are critical to obtaining an accurate result with gas chromatography.
