Will my results be inaccurate if I collect my sample incorrectly?

Generally, no. We’ve made our steps as easy as possible to follow, so you shouldn’t mess up. However, some may get the urge to squeeze their finger whilst they collect their sample, which can cause their red blood cells to rupture (known as haemolysis). If this does happen to you, unfortunately we won’t be able to test your sample, but we’ll let you know what the next steps are once we’ve received it in our lab.
