Blood Sample

Documenting

After the sample has been collected and labelled, it is transported to the lab to be booked in. Depending on the test needed and where you have the sample taken, your blood may go to the laboratory in the local hospital, or it may be sent to a laboratory that specialises in a particular blood analysis.

Once the specimen arrives in the lab, however near or far away, your blood sample will be booked into the laboratory's computer system. The tube label contains all the information necessary to ensure that the sample is analysed for all the tests requested and the results are matched to your name.
