How to Use

1. 1. Prepare Site: Clean the capillary puncture site (e.g., finger or heel) with an antiseptic wipe and allow it to air dry.
2. 2. Perform Puncture: Using an appropriate lancet, perform a quick and clean capillary puncture.
3. 3. Collect Sample: Gently touch the open end of the microcontainer to the blood drop, allowing the blood to flow naturally into the tube. Avoid forceful squeezing of the puncture site to prevent hemolysis.
4. 4. Fill to Mark: Fill the microcontainer to the indicated fill line (0.5ml) to ensure proper sample volume.
5. 5. Cap Securely: Immediately after collection, cap the tube securely to prevent spillage and contamination.
6. 6. Label Tube: Label the tube clearly with patient identification and collection time as per laboratory protocol.
7. 7. Clotting (if needed): If serum is required, allow the sample to clot naturally in an upright position (typically 20-30 minutes at room temperature).
8. 8. Centrifuge (if needed): After clotting, centrifuge the tube according to laboratory guidelines to separate serum from blood cells.
