Sample Management
There are regulations regarding the preparation of samples at home. It is necessary to collect the sample in close proximity to the delivery time. Do not retain the same item for a period of 1-2 days. Kindly ensure that the sample is delivered to the drop box prior to the final pickup of that box.
However, it is important to rotate the tube six times when you first collect the sample to ensure that it is properly mixed with the non-clotting solution in the tube.
You may also receive assistance by visiting our HCG clinic in my vicinity to obtain your results.
