Patient-orientated metered capillary blood collection.
Holman RR., Rees SG., Moore JC., Bown EG., Turner RC.
A small collector bottle, with a precision-moulded top, allows capillary blood from a finger-prick to be automatically metered into a diluent for subsequent laboratory analysis. This device, which has been successfully used by patients to obtain full blood counts, glycosylated haemoglobin values and blood glucose measurements, may have wide application.
