On the day:

Please drink plenty of water,  bring all the information in your test kit as these provide vital information needed for the test to proceed and produce viable results.

2. Bring your test kit and all of its contents. Private blood test kits contain a requisition form (the test cannot proceed if you do not have your requisition form ) Check the contents of your test kit. 

3. Stay well-hydrated with plain water to make your veins plump and easier to find.  ( for adults at minimum 2L and kids minimum 1L)

4.Avoid other liquids: Don’t drink coffee, tea, juice, soda, or other sugary drinks, as they can interfere with test results. 

Confirm fasting requirements: For some tests, you may need to fast and can only drink water. 
 
Why it matters:
 
  • Easier vein access:

    Hydration increases blood flow and makes your veins more prominent, ensuring a smoother blood draw. 

     
  • Accurate results:

    Other beverages contain compounds or sugars that can alter your test results, while plain water does not. 

     
  • Avoid retests:
    Following proper instructions for fasting and hydration can prevent the need to repeat the blood test

5. For kids, please apply numbing cream in both arms 30 minutes before arrival.

Spinning Science: Unveiling the Power of Centrifugation

At YHF, we specifically work with venous blood draw that have been centrifuged to ensure the biomarkers are safeguarded and to maintain complete accuracy within our complex and comprehensive reports.

Centrifugation is a method of separating solids from liquids using rotational forces (spun). When blood is centrifuged the red cell portion and plasma is separated. Leaving the delicate biomarkers stable and intact, and suitable for transportation to the lab. Without centrifuging, many of the biomarkers become unstable and deteriorate over time, which can result in incorrect results. Read More About PHLEBOTOMY
