What Is a Kit Draw?

A kit draw is a blood or specimen collection using a pre-packaged testing kit provided by a specialty lab. These kits are commonly shipped directly to patients or ordered by physicians for advanced diagnostics such as cholesterol panels, hormone mapping, micronutrient analysis, food sensitivity testing, and DNA-based wellness insights.

Each kit typically includes:

  • Specialized tubes or collection materials
  • Lab-specific barcodes and forms
  • Clear instructions and return packaging

Once your kit arrives, you’ll need a trained phlebotomist to collect and process the samples correctly—this is where ABOLabs steps in.


Why Most Labs Won’t Draw These Kits


Large national labs like Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics usually decline to draw outside kits.
Here’s why:

  • They’re limited to tests billed through their own systems.
  • Specialty kits often require nonstandard tubes, centrifuging, or temperature handling.
  • Insurance rarely covers the phlebotomy service portion, making it “out-of-network.”

That’s left many patients holding a box they can’t use—and a prescription their doctor can’t fulfill without help.


How ABOLabs Solves the Problem


At ABOLabs, we specialize in kit draws for any lab that requires professional specimen collection.
We handle the full process—so your samples are drawn, labeled, packaged, and shipped correctly the first time.

Our service includes:

  1. Reviewing your kit’s instructions before arrival
  2. Collecting samples using correct tubes and handling
  3. Completing all forms and labeling accurately
  4. Preparing the kit for same-day courier or FedEx drop-off

We travel to your home, office, or assisted living community, bringing professional phlebotomy care directly to your door.
