Testing Procedures
Collecting a sample
• The patient sample material and control material to be used is specific for each Afinion Test.
• The length of the capillary in the sampling device, and thereby the sample volume, might also vary for the different Afinion Tests.
• The time from filling the capillary until analysing the test cartridge must be as short as possible.
• Do not use the test cartridge if dropped on the bench or floor after the sample has been collected.
Consult the package insert that comes with each Afinion Test Kit for assay specific information.

the capillary fills completely. It is not possible to
overfill.
Do not wipe off the capillary.
Avoid air bubbles and excess sample on the
outside of the capillary.
Immediately and carefully replace the
sampling device into the test cartridge.
The time from filling the capillary until
