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.
