[QUOTE="daddys1, post: 762823, member: 134619"] Hi Bluetit, the strips work through 'capillary action', that is to say when you touch the blood against the end there is this 'Capillary' action which sucks the blood into the strip . The capilary 'space' cannot accommodate more blood than the space available in that capillary, so although there is a minimum amount of blood required, presenting more blood will not have any effect as there is a limited amount of space. It appears to me that the capillaries split into 2, even finer capillaries, and arrive at the testing end. Unless there is a fault with the size of the capillaries then more blood will not have an effect. The size of the capillaries is part of the way the machine will be or is designed to test a specified amount of blood dictated by the capillary size. Hope this helps Neil [/QUOTE]
