Blood Draw for Research
New England Research Subject Advocacy Group
A blood draw is a way to collect blood for lab testing. Sometimes a blood sample is taken by placing a needle into a vein in your arm, usually near your elbow. Other times, a small needle may be used to prick the fingertip and collect a few drops of blood. The amount of blood drawn depends on the types of tests being done.
