2. Discard the first small amount of urine, then immediately collect the next stream of urine into the collection container.
3. Collect approximately 30-60 ml of urine into the container provided.

*You will also be asked to fill a dry, sterile, empty tube with 0–51 ml (or about 1 teaspoon) of saliva.
* Once the saliva sample has been collected, the tube must be closed immediately.
* Medical personnel will combine the saliva sample with VTM (viral transport medium), a substance that prevents bacterial contamination of the sample.
* Saliva samples will be taken to the laboratory for further testing.]]> 2023-10-11 06:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/vikusludo68/7ugixzmb7cdqydnj/wish/2741301659 Blood sample (group 1) https://padlet.com/vikusludo68/7ugixzmb7cdqydnj/wish/2741303892
  • Purpose and Commond tests conducted using blood samples
    • Blood tests are used to measure or examine cells, chemicals, proteins, or other substances in the blood. Blood testing, also known as blood work, is one of the most common types of lab tests. Blood work is often included as part of a regular checkup. Blood tests are also used to:

    1. Help diagnose certain diseases and conditions
    2. Monitor a chronic disease or condition, such as diabetes or high cholesterol
    3. Find out if treatment for a disease is working
    4. Check how well your organs are working. Your organs include your liver, kidneys, heart, and thyroid.
    5. Help diagnose bleeding or clotting disorders
    6. Find out if your immune system is having trouble fighting infections

    • Collection tehniques and equipment 
    a lab professional, known as a phlebotomist, will take a blood sample from a vein in your arm, using a small needle. After the needle is inserted, a small amount of blood will be collected into a test tube or vial. You may feel a little sting when the needle goes in or out. This usually takes less than five minutes.

    Venipuncture is the most common way to do a blood test.

    Other ways to do a blood test are:

    1. A finger prick test. This test is done by pricking your fingertip to obtain a small amount of blood. Finger prick testing is often used for at-home test kits and rapid tests. Rapid tests are easy to use tests that provide very fast results and require little or no special equipment.
    2. A heel stick test. This is most often done on newborns. During a heel stick test, a health care provider will clean your baby's heel with alcohol and poke the heel with a small needle. The provider will collect a few drops of blood and put a bandage on the site.
    3. Arterial blood test. This test is done to measure oxygen levels. Blood from arteries has higher levels of oxygen than blood from a vein. So for this test, blood is taken from an artery instead of a vein. You may feel a sharp pain when the provider inserts the needle into the artery to get the blood sample
