During the Widal Test
An experienced phlebotomist will locate the vein with the help of a vein finder. Then he will collect the blood sample from the patient and let it clot. Once the clot is formed, the sample is centrifuged to separate the serum from the cells. The phlebotomist will keep all the hygienic requirements in mind while doing the whole procedure.

Limitations
- The accuracy of the test results could be compromised by equipment issues or human errors.

Test Result Interpretation
If the antibody against the bacteria is present within the patient’s serum, it'll react with the respective antigen within the reagent and provide visible agglutination (clumping) on the test slide. The highest dilution of the patient’s blood sample that provides a clear agglutination with the Widal test antigen suspensions is that of the antibody titre.
