REB SOP 005 - Finger Prick Blood Sampling by Medical Technician
A finger prick blood sample will be obtained from each participant by pricking a finger using a single-use disposable, retractable lancet (BD- Genie Lancet Cat. No 366583).These devices are used routinely by diabetics to test blood glucose. The BD microcollection Lancet ensures minimum discomfort to the participant, and will provide only an appropriate drop of blood for the analysis.
