    The blood that is taken is used as specimen for the tests. Some may remain in the testtubes, this is thrown in bins and taken to the incenerator to be destroyed. The one that is used for the test is also destroyed through the same procedure.

    What exactly made you ask the question? Do not worry that the blood is collected for other uses such as infusing another person. The possibility of this is negligible anywhere because of the difference of blood groups in human beings. The testtubes also contain some chemicals that are specific to the particular test hence making it hard to use the same sample for other reasons.

    Drop some in my mail box for clarification, or use the same podium.

    Good luck!

    They are safely discarded. There is a special container in every laboratory to safely discard them and such container usually goes to incinerator to burn. The time to discard them depends on every laboratory guidelines. Some samples will be kept for some time and some are discarded after the test.

    After they have run all the blood tests they need to run, they will dispose of the blood. They will put in medical trash, and then that gets taken to the disposal where it is destroyed. (Usually burnt)

    in the event that they weren't precise labs may be close down by ability of many inspection companies. Sorry dude, there are soooo many controls to make sure each and everything is precise it is not even humorous. So my answer is for particular they're ninety 9.9% precise and if it is not precise that is via fact of uncommon human errors, not the attempting out kit.
