Eldoncard Blood Typing Kit, 2 Test Pack, Know Your Blood Type, Accurate Instant Home Testing, Determine A, O, B, Rhs-D Negative & Positive Groups

Got this today and it was pretty simple. Be sure to read the instructions completely and get an idea of what you’re doing. It’s. The lancet worked great and I am lucky to bleed like a waterfall. Getting the samples into the circles was easy. Overall an easy process. The finger prick barely felt more than a sting. Anyhows, great product!

The Eldoncard blood typing kit is a reliable and user-friendly option for at-home testing without any specialized knowledge. It’s very affordable compared to other options. The kit I received was well within the expiration date. A particularly useful feature is the adhesive cover that allows you to preserve your results for future reference. Overall, it’s a practical and convenient solution for quick blood type identification.

Wanted to know what my blood type was. Bought this product and tested my husband and myself since it was two kits. Was very easy to do and read the results when done.

Two packs come in a single package which is just as well since I made a bit of a mess with one of them. Here is what I suggest: take a few minutes and read the directions carefully. then, take the first one and lay out all of the parts that you need--take everything out of its packaging and lay it down like a surgeon. The reason is that even though you are only stabbing one finger it is surprising how lacking in agility one is with one finger out of commission. Do choose ahead of time which finger to use--i used my ring finger on my left hand thinking that would be the one I would use the least--which is generally true until one tries to floss that night. Now as for the needle, fellow chickens, it really isn't bad--it goes in quickly and comes right back up. You only feel it, you don't see it. It is a bit more than if you stabbed yourself accidentally with a sewing needle. Nevertheless, I was ready with my Neosporin and bandaids. Here comes the tricky part---I put the needle into the side of the finger pad but honestly could not get enough blood so I really didn't get a good result on the first test. You really do have to have a true drop of blood--nothing less will do. So I moved onto the second test and stupidly put the needle into another place on the same finger--well, then I really didn't have enough blood. So get serious about getting blood in those circles. So did I get any results? Well, yes, but not the way the manufacturer would hope-since the tests are identical--I matched them up--as I had enough blood on three circles on one and enough on two circles on the other. Sure enough, it looked like the picture. Now some of you might have a lot more manual dexterity than I but if you can get someone to help you, I think that would work out well. The entire process takes about 15-20 minutes and you do have to use the test that day so plan on doing it when you won't be disturbed and don't have to rush. Doing it when the kids are coming home as an example, is not a good idea. And you do have to wait for it to dry. Hope this helps.

Works exactly as described. I only had to perform one test and I got a very clear A Positive result. Instructions were crystal clear and easy to understand. My guess is that most of the negative reviews were due to a couple of reasons-- 1. You didn't read the instructions. 2. You accidentally contaminated your reagents before you got started. To avoid the latter mistake I would recommend not writing on the card until after you perform your blood typing steps. Be very careful when you handle the card. Do not touch the circles with your hand or anything else, as oils from your skin will contaminate and ruin the reagents on the card. Having a friend or loved one act as your nurse will help a lot too, as you may find it difficult to extract enough blood for all four reagent circles from your finger before clotting occurs. Having a dedicated nurse to handle blood collection while you massage blood flow towards your finger will help with this step. And lastly just make sure you don't allow the blood/water mixture to exceed the lines of the circle when you are tilting the card during your final 'curing' steps. Don't tilt the card straight up and down, but rather at a slight 30* angle. Follow the instructions explicitly and you will do just fine. Interpreting the results was very easy for me. You can see from my picture that the first reagent displayed a typical reaction, the second reagent displayed no reaction, the third reagent displayed a strong reaction, and the fourth reagent (control) displayed no reaction. This result means I'm A (from typical reaction on the first reagent) Positive (from strong reaction on the third reagent).

Very easy instructions

Ordered the 2 pack but just one arrived. Works ok otherwise

My Dad wanted to know his blood type and since I didn't know mine either we got 2 kits and have some extras. I tested Dad first, the lancet was a tiny prick, minimally painful, not even as bad as getting a splinter. Dad's blood is thinner right now cause he has edema, and the only difficulty I had with his test, was getting enough blood from his bony finger, but it just took a little patience and some finger massaging. When I did mine, it was again just a tiny pinprick, had enough blood for the test easily but wasn't dripping like crazy. I've used lancets before for sugar testing, this was not even that big a poke nor that much blood or pain. We didn't even need bandaids, We have no bruises, nor was the lancet hard to use at all, you simply twist the end cap then pull it straight out of the end, don't push the trigger until you are ready to poke because it's a one poke lancet. I was very careful and read the directions completely before doing the test, we also did not write on our cards until after our cards were dry as someone suggested. The test was simple, straightforward and we did fine with it. I suggest simply reading the directions completely before you start and watch the video. I was able to do my own test without help, and helped Dd with his. We learned we both have different blood types and we had no null results. I would highly recommend this test as it was simple, fairly painless, and inexpensive as well as do at home on your own schedule. I can't speak to accuracy as neither of us knew our blood type prior but the example photos were easy to follow and distinguish if you actually look at them and read the directions. We have no reason to doubt the results, and considering they were different and we had no null result I suspect that we did get accurate results. Great test did exactly what we hoped for.
