Abstract
A transparent capillary tube is held in a cassette-type container during blood drawing and blood testing procedures. The cassette protects the capillary tube against breakage; allows the placement of patient and blood sample testing information labels thereon; and allows technicians to draw and test blood samples without having to come into direct contact with the capillary tube, or the blood. Once the blood sample is drawn into the capillary tube, the cassette can be used in the performance of kinetic gravimetric blood cell counts.
