| Wait for approx. 45 seconds until the slide can be brought to the finger. | Allow the slide to contact the finger-tip very gently until 5-6 blood drops, arranged in a row, have been transferred to the slide. It is important not to apply pressure. The slide should only touch the finger with its own weight. | |||
