During the VDRL Test

Once the VDRL test has been booked with PharmEasy Labs, you do not have to do anything else. A phlebotomist will be assigned to you who will collect the blood sample from your specified location. To maintain hygiene, they use disposable needles and gloves. The phlebotomists also have a unique tool called a vein finder that enables them to discover the best vein in the forearm to draw blood from. The samples are stored in barcoded vials, kept in a cooling container, and then safely transported to the lab for testing.
