Contamination is a common cause of UNFIT samples, leading to delayed testing, recall, diagnosis, and treatment.

🩸 What are contaminated samples?
These are samples with poor-quality blood spots caused by contamination from dirt, moisture, or improper handling.

⚠️ Why does it matter?
Contaminated samples must be recollected, which can delay testing and affect timely diagnosis
