You know when you go for a blood test and they want to test for diabetes or whatever, why do they take about 5 vials?
I have studied biology and from what I remember, you only need a drop or two to do a test for one thing. So technically if you were testing for five things you would need about ten drops.
So what happens to all the blood in the other vials?
Forgive me for being thick if this question sounds really daft.
Pain and hardships allow you to grow spiritually Alhamdulilah so smile when a so called calamity befalls upon you.
Alhamdulilah Allah swt is the greatest.
^I don't think that's the case. Donated blood is checked, sorted into blood type, the platelets are separated.. I don't think small vials would be of much use as blood doesn't have a very long shelf life.
Different tubes have different coloured caps, used for different tests. That's all there is to it.
