MODEL RELEASED. Blood sampling. View of a woman undergoing venepuncture,the process of removal of a blood sample from a vein. The blood is being removed from the patient's arm. A red tourniquet (band) on her arm is used to constrict venous blood return,thus enlarging the veins and making them easier to penetrate with a hypodermic needle. The blood is drawn into a vacutainer,a test-tube like container seen here within the barrel of the syringe. This blood sample was taken at the London Fertility Clinic,for research on early foetus testing. By taking a blood sample from a mother in early pregnancy,researchers can test the foetus for genetic defects and determine its sex | |
