Then, a small needle is inserted into a vein, and a vial is used to collect the blood sample. The process is quick and typically painless.

Some tests require fasting for 8 to 12 hours before the screening. You can drink water, but no food or sugary beverages. Your specialist will provide detailed instructions based on the specific test you are taking.
