Eldoncard Blood Typing Kit, 2 Test Pack

Excellent quality. The results were clear to read. Make sure to read directions, particularly regarding the finger-poker (I accidentally engaged one before I was ready, but thankfully each card comes with two). It's all very quick, safe, and easy to use. I highly recommend!

It worked

I bought this kit to do a blood test on one my kids. As a check, I did one of the test on me, as I know my blood type from previous blood donations. I had never done a self-test before, and after watching the YouTube video, it looked easy and it was. I initially thought that maybe the little spring-activated finger poker wouldn't create enough blood, but I was wrong! It didn't hurt, and generated more than enough blood sample for the test. I got good, strong results, and the indicated blood type matched my known blood type without any ambiguity. I know that there are some comments that the test gave an incorrect result. I'd guess I'd have to know more about what they actually did to know if they followed the instructions properly (people don't always follow instructions properly!). Anyway, it worked great for me. I didn't do the full gamut of tilting the card shown in the YouTube video, but I did slosh the blood/water mix around enough to mix it.

Testing kit worked great for us ! One suggestion….carefully read the directions once or twice before starting. One person can do it , but a second person is helpful. We definitely would buy again.

I think the description says this test can be done in 10 minutes. I guess, I am slow, or maybe they literally mean the time it takes to do the steps required and not the time it takes to figure it out in the first place. To be clear, it isn't difficult, but the first time through is definitely slow. Three takeaways from my experience (I had to use two test kits). 1) Step 2 is to use the tiny plastic squeeze bulb with water to wet the test circles. Should I use distilled water? I used tap water <shrug> 2) Work quickly once you prick your finger. My finger stopped bleeding before I had time to get blood on all the samples. (Hence, I had to use of another test kit and prick my finger again). 3) When putting blood on the EldonStick, don't try to put it in the little cup-like part. Put it on the bottom. If you look at the instructions, the drawing shows this, but I couldn't resist treating the thing like a little dipper--don't be like me. Put it on the flat part and then smear it around in the test circle. Finally, one last critique, is that I wasn't sure how to interpret the results. They give some pictures of agglutinated samples, but to my untrained eye, it still seemed kind of subtle.

Did this kit with my father about 5 years ago and came out with a B positive blood type. Recently joined the military and had my blood professionally drawn to find my true blood type which also came out as B+. After getting over the small prick in the beginning it was very exciting to find my blood type for fun and have it be accurate to my true blood type.

I really liked it. It's easy to follow directions

Realativly easy to use and the results were fast. The shipping was quick as well and everything was seal up nicely
