TIPS FOR COLLECTING SAMPLE
Collecting your finger prick blood sample is quick and easy. Please remember to read the full instructions which come with your kit to ensure you handle all equipment and collect your sample correctly. Here are some tips to make sample collection easier!
Drink water
You should be well hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the hours before your test and a large glass 30 minutes prior.
Warm hands
Take a hot shower or put your hands in warm water for 4 minutes before taking the sample to make sure you get good blood flow.
Squeeze but not too hard
In most cases your sample can be collected at home with a finger prick kit, if not we will arrange phlebotomy appointment for you.
To the line please
Fill each tube to the marked line. For purple tubes, please shake gently after each drop that is collected to prevent clotting.
