Register your test

Before you start, you need to register your test. Your test kit contains a sticker with your unique test-ID. If you need help creating an account, you can check our guide.

Wash your hands

Wash your hands in hot water for about a minute. This will increase blood circulation in your fingers. Dry your hands.

NOTE: Doing a blood test without stimulating blood circulation might prove difficult, so please do not skip this step!

Disinfect your finger

Disinfect your “test finger” with the supplied disinfectant paper. Wait a few seconds until the finger is completely dry.

Remove a protective cover on a lancet

Rotate the protective cover on the blood lancet (yellow, blue or purple/pink lancet) to remove it. Use the extra lancet if you need to do another finger stick.

Place your hand on a flat surface

Place your hand on a flat surface. Put the lancet diagonally toward the test finger and press down the yellow button. Make sure the lancet is pressed against the finger the whole time.

NOTE: The lancet can only be used once. If you have pressed the button without placing the lancet against your finger, you will not be able to use it again.

Encourage blood flow

We recommend that you stand up at this stage to let the blood in your arm flow downward. Help the blood drops come out by massaging the finger toward the needle stick.

Drip the blood into the test tube

Drip the blood into the test tube. Standing up will help. It is very important that you fill the tube to the line, otherwise the lab will not be able to complete the test and you will need to send in a new one.

Place your test-ID onto the test tube

Place the sticker with your unique test-ID onto the tube. Store in the fridge until you send it.

Send the test to the lab

Put the test tube in the pre-stamped envelope. Send the test to the lab the same day, preferably on Monday.
