Testing Instructions - Blood Tests
Getting Started
We recommend drinking a glass of water to hydrate before starting. It will make collecting enough blood easier.
Additionally, we provide a step-by-step video below to use along with these instructions.
Prepare
Fill out the collection card with your name, today’s date, and your date of birth.
Tip: Try rinsing your hands in warm water to increase circulation. Increasing your heart rate helps, too. You can also try swinging your arm in a circular motion.
Use Lancet
Clean your middle or ring finger with the alcohol pad. Twist off the lancet cap. Firmly press the lancet into the side of the tip of your finger. When ready, push the button to puncture the skin. Extra lancets are provided if needed.
Collect Blood
Drip 4-6 large drops of blood onto each of the small squares so that red blood reaches the 1st line. Do not bleed onto the rectangular section. Finish a square before starting the next one. You can take breaks between squares if needed.
Return
Pack for return and mail within a day
Let the collection card dry completely. Place the card into the foil bag. Place the foil bag into the prepaid mailer.
The Basics
As a reminder, these are the very basics you must know. Be sure to follow the steps above and use the diagrams to the right of this page and below as a visual aid as you take your tests.

Testing Instructions - Urine Tests
Getting Started
Collecting your urine sample is quick and easy. Just follow the instructions below … or check out the instructional video for more details.
Grab your favorite black ink pen and fill in your collection tube with your full name, today’s date, and your birthday.
Wash your hands and collect your urine into a clean container. For best results, collect the beginning of your urine stream, or “first catch” urine. Remember to not urinate for at least 2 hours prior to the urine collection.
Unscrew the cap of the collection tube to prepare it for the sample. Using the included pipette, transfer the urine to the collection tube.
Your goal is to fill the tube up to the maximum fill line.
Screw the cap back onto the collection tube. Double check to make sure it is nice and tight!
Mix the specimen by inverting the tube upside down 5 times.
Place the collection tube into the biohazard bag, and then into to addressed polymailer along with your completed blood collection card. Please mail out within 24 hours.
