How does it work?

Step 1: finger prick kit to patient

When you request the test, Sanquin will send a finger prick kit your patient

Step 2: patient performs finger prick at home

The patient performs the finger prick using a lancet and miniaturized collection tube according to the instructions that are provided in the kit. The patient returns the sample. This is automatically sent to Sanquin as we provide a pre-addressed return envelope.

This video (in Dutch) explains how to perform the finger prick. You could watch this video together with your patient or direct them to our page:
