How to collect a blood sample

What is in the kit?

1
Lancets

A small, sharp instrument used to make a tiny puncture in the skin to obtain a small blood sample. This tool is essential for quick and relatively painless collection of blood.

2
Microcontainers

Small, capped tubes designed to hold the blood sample collected for testing. These containers are crucial for safely storing the blood until it is analyzed, ensuring the sample remains uncontaminated and properly portioned for accurate test results.

3
Pre injection swab

A sterile piece of material, soaked in an antiseptic solution, used to clean the skin area before a lancet or needle is used. This step is crucial for preventing infection by eliminating bacteria on the skin surface, ensuring that the blood collection or injection process is conducted in a safe and hygienic manner.

4
Instructions

A comprehensive guide to ensure the user performs the test accurately and safely.

5
Free prepaid returns

Prepaid return envelope to safely post back your sample to the laboratory.

How do I read my results?

Laboratory results are provided with reference ranges which are based on the normal test results of a large group of healthy people from the same age group and gender as yourself.

Sometimes, healthy people get results outside the reference range, while people with health problems can have results in the normal range. If your results fall outside the reference range, or if you have symptoms despite a normal result, you may require more testing or wish to discuss the result with your GP.

For simplicity, we provided your results graphically, so they are easy to understand. Any result flagged amber is outside of the standard range. Normal results are in green.

If you see ‘invalid result’ on any of your report pages, it’s nothing to worry about. Please call our Customer Service team on 020 7183 3718 and if required we will be able to arrange another blood test appointment free of charge or post you a home testing kit which you can post back to our laboratory
