Sampling instructions FAQ:s

On the left-hand side of the sample kit, you should see the words, "Instructions, open here". You should be able to "peel off" the outer layer of the carton by pulling gently but firmly on the tab. Further instructions for storage of the sampling kit are written on the inside of the outermost layer. An instructional film for locating the sampling instructions is available here:
We recommend that you don’t take the sample if you are experiencing a heavy flow. You can take the sample at the beginning or the end of your period or anytime if you have a light flow.
We recommend that you don’t take the sample during treatment. Wait at least three weeks after treatment is finished before taking the sample. Ask your GP for advice if you’re not sure.
Insert the sample stick around 5 cm into your vagina. Press the soft part of the sample stick against the vaginal wall and rotate it 4–6 times. Let the sample stick dry for at least 3 minutes. Don’t allow the soft part to come into contact with anything. Put the sample stick back in the tube and fasten the stopper securely. Done!
Taking a sample with a vacuum tube: Collect the first urine in the sample tube or any clean container. Put the sample tube in a glass or similar container so it doesn’t tip over. Put the transfer straw under the surface of the liquid in the urine sample. Insert the vacuum tube into the transfer straw’s holder and press firmly so the end penetrates the seal of the vacuum tube and urine is sucked into the tube. Keep pressing the vacuum tube against the transfer straw until the vacuum tube stops filling. Remove the vacuum straw. Pour out the remaining urine and discard the sample tube and transfer straw.

Swab sample: Unscrew the top of the sample tube, where you will find a sample stick to suck up the urine with. Collect the first urine by urinating on the soft part of the sample stick. This part of the stick sucks up the urine. Put the sample stick back in the sample tube. Screw the lid on firmly, rinse the sample tube and dry.
Start by rinsing your mouth with water. Unscrew the cap on the sample tube and make sure you don’t touch the soft part of the sample stick. Rub the soft part of the sample stick on the inside of your cheek for 3–4 seconds. Put the sample stick back in the sample tube straight after doing the sample.
Hold the lancet securely against the side of the tip of your finger and press until you hear a click. Release the pressure with your thumb so the blood can flow. Discard the lancet. Important! Squeeze out a drop and wipe it away with the cotton swab. Apply pressure with your finger towards the tip of your finger from your hand to create large drops of blood. Put the collection tube against the top to collect the blood. Angle the sample tube slightly to avoid air bubbles. Then press a new drop out. Repeat until the sample tube is full of blood. Hold the sample tube upright and let the blood flow into the tube. Tap the tube carefully against a table if the blood is flowing slowly. Collect the blood until it reaches the 100 line. If you can’t collect the blood with the collection tube, take off the lid and collect the blood straight into the sample tube. Unscrew and remove the lid with the collection tube. Discard both. Remove the lid on the bottom of the sample tube and “click” on the top of it to seal the sample tube. Turn the sample tube up and down five times and make sure the blood flows with each turn so you avoid coagulation.
Clean your nail scissors and tweezers with warm water and washing-up liquid. Open the sample tube. If the nail condition is on the outer edge of the nail, cut off a small piece of the nail with the nail scissors. If the condition is in the middle of the nail, scrape the area carefully with the nail scissors above the affected area. NB! You only need a small amount. Use the tweezers to put the pieces of nail into the sample tube. Screw the lid on firmly. Done!
Clean your nail scissors and tweezers with warm water and washing-up liquid. Open the sample tube. Use the blunt side of the scissors to carefully scrape away skin flakes from the affected area. NB! You only need a small amount. Use the tweezers to put the pieces of nail into the sample tube. Screw the lid on firmly. Done!
