I am wondering why they are taking such a large volume at once and what they
are doing with it I.e. lots of different tests. I once saw a medical student
doing research put in a butterfly cannula (rather than a traditional needle)
and then fill 11 vacationer tubes in a row.
Would it not be possible to use a vacuum system- even contacting the
manufacturers to see if larger sizes tube sizes are available..?
Best wishes,
Diane
