  2. 2

    Process your sample

    Unscrew the green cap of the specimen collection tube.

    Hold the collection tube upright, remove the clear cap, and transfer 2 full drops (approximately 80μL) of the extracted specimen into the specimen well (S) of the test cassette.

    Start the timer as soon as the specimen is applied.
