Collecting Blood Samples

How to Obtain a Capillary

Blood Sample:

• Use only fresh whole

blood samples.

• Make sure no water

remains on the

puncture site.

• Collect the capillary

blood using a

lancing device and an

appropriate technique.

• Avoid squeezing the

puncture site excessively.

• Apply the drop of blood directly to the target area of the test strip,

covering the entire area.

• If necessary, the blood can be collected in a capillary tube coated

with sodium heparin,

lithium heparin, or

EDTA, and then applied

to the test strip.

How to Obtain a Venous

Blood Sample:

• Use only fresh whole

blood samples.

• Collect the venous blood

sample in a collection tube

containing sodium

heparin, lithium heparin

or EDTA ensuring that the test tube is completely filled.

• Do not use collection tubes that contain fluoride or oxalate.

• If the blood is collected from an intravenous line, clear the line

before drawing the sample into a syringe that contains sodium

heparin, lithium heparin or EDTA.

• Use the sample within 30 minutes of collection.

• Invert the tube with the sample several times immediately before

removing the sample.

• Use a disposable transfer pipette to obtain a sample from the center

of the collection tube.
