Things to know before you start

The video below will go through the process step by step. But first, here are some key tips.

Wash your hands with water that's as warm as you can tolerate for at least 1-2 minutes.

Proceed to collect your sample immediately after you wash your hands - they should still be warm from the water.

The location of the finger prick is key for a painless and smooth collection. We go over the details in the video below.

Don't squeeze your finger too hard to get blood droplets out! This destroys your blood cells such that they can't be tested.
