| Blood Stain Test - Paper |
| | The blood sample (blood drop) is spotted onto the test-paper provided by us. You can use blood from finger, ear etc, or venous blood, whatever is convenient for you. You don`t have to spot blood exactly in the circles. The circles just indicate the amount of blood we need for the test. You can soak the test-paper with blood at any area outside the typed text. Let the paper air-dry, envelope it and send by regular mail to the IMMD. Test-paper will be supplied by us without charge. A result is returned within indicated time intervals (see Test Descriptions) after arrival of the test-paper. The report includes a detailed interpretation of the Diagnostic Value. If requested, you may contact the genetic counseling service collaborating with us. |
