BLOOD TYPE DETERMINATION WITH CAPILLARY BLOOD

Step 1

Place one drop of water in each field with a pipette. DO NOT LET THE WATER DRY.

Step 2

Disinfect a finger. Let the finger dry. With a lancet make a small puncture.

Step 3

Collect one drop of blood for each field on an ELDONstick®. Use a new ELDONstick® for each field.

Step 4

Blood drops should fit the base of the ELDONstick®.

Step 5

Place the blood drops into the fields of your ELDONCARD®. Keep the stick in contact with the card.

Step 6

Mix blood and reagent with a rotating movement for approx. 15 seconds. Spread mixture to the perimeter of the circles.

Step 7

Tilt the ELDONCARD® to a vertical position. After 10 seconds tilt the ELDONCARD® 180° to allow blood to travel across the reaction fields. Wait 10 seconds. Tilt the ELDONCARD® 90° to the left - wait 10 seconds. Tilt the ELDONCARD® 180° to the right - wait 10 seconds. Read and record the result. Let the ELDONCARD® dry (approx. 2 minutes if you use a hairdryer).

Step 8

Cover the agglutinations with adhesive foil to prevent deterioration of reactions and to seal possible infectious material.
