1. Blood collection and analysis

2. Collecting of specimen
Blood specimen is taken from the patients body to find out the risk
factors affected by the diseases. A sample of blood is taken and the
needle is removed. You will be given a cotton-wool pad to put pressure
on the site of the injection, which stops any bleeding and should
prevent bruising.

3. Blood Samples
Blood tests are performed on sample of blood cells which has
extracted from a vein in the arm through a needle. Blood vessels can
be acquired from venous access devices and sometimes by finger
stick. A blood vessel is most frequently acquired via a side-line vein
pierce (venipuncture). It’s a very practical diagnostic tool and made
up of different kinds of cells including a mixture of salts and certain
proteins.

4. Analyzing
The doctors mainly examine about the Fluid that is plasma and cells
Cells : Red blood, White blood cells and platelets
The doctors will start examining the levels of the cells and a blood
smear in the collected blood specimen

5. Analyzing blood samples
Blood analysis is used to spot out the abnormalities in the blood, e.g.
toxic metals, anti-oxidant deficiency and amino acid profile. It’s an
invaluable test to evaluate both the short and long term nature of any
health problem

6. Blood Analyzer
Blood tests are a very useful diagnostic tool. It is made up of several
different kinds of cells and other compounds, including various salts
and certain proteins. Plasma is a liquid part of the blood cells. It will
become a solid when blood forms as clot outside of the body. Few
liquid of blood cells stayed behind the plasma, that’s called serum
which uses for chemical test. This test can be used to find out how the
immune system fights with diseases.

7. Blood testing
Blood is usually drawn and collected in order to perform a variety of
laboratory tests. Specimens are often sent to help diagnose conditions
such as electrolyte imbalances, to screen for risk factors like high
cholesterol levels, and to monitor the effects of treatments and
medications.
