Syringe

Touch the tip of the syringe to the center of the pink test square. Gently apply pressure to the plunger. As the blood emerges from the tip of the syringe, it is absorbed by the test square.

CAUTION

Avoid applying too much blood when using a syringe or you may get an inaccurate, high result.

Alternatively, dispense the blood from the syringe into a test tube, then apply blood to the test square using a narrow-bore pipette.

Pipette

Touch the drop of blood emerging from the tip of a narrow-bore pipette to the center of the pink test square.
