A drop of blood

Frosted side up and to your right on a padded, flat surface near the chair or bed where the specimen is to be collected.6. Immediately after removing the needle from the vein, gently touch the tip of the needle to one of the clean slides, producing a small drop of blood about 1 to 2 mm in diameter, about the size of a match head. The drop of blood should be in the center line, approximately ¼ inch from the frosted end. Repeat for the second collection slide. Activate the needle's safety feature and dispose of the needle in a sharps container.7. Hold the left corners of the collection slide with the left thumb and forefinger.8. Hold the spreader by the frosted end between the right thumb and the index finger.9. Rest the left end of the spreader at a 45° angle, approximately ½ inch opposite the drop of blood on the slide. This angle prevents the white cells from bunching along the edges.Figure 13Figure 1410. Draw the spreader slide steadily back toward the drop of blood. When the slide contacts the drop, the blood will start to spread to the edges of the spreader slide. (See Figure 13.)11. Keep the spreader slide at a 45° angle, maintaining light but firm pressure with the spreader slide against the horizontal slide. Push the spreader slide rapidly over the entire length of the slide, pulling a thin smear of blood behind it. A feathered edge usually characterizes a good blood film. The blood should not extend past 3/4 the length of the slide. (See Figure 14.)12. Prepare the second film in the same manner.13. Allow the blood films to air dry. Do not blow on the slides. Do not apply fixative. After the slides are completely dry, place them in a labeled
