Wait until the skin surface under the AST™ Clear Cap changes color (as blood collects beneath the skin). This tells you there is enough blood flow for a good sample.

When sampling blood from your forearm or palm, make sure the drop of blood is of at least one microlitre ( actual size) before you release pressure and remove the lancing device.
