While walk-in clincs and laboratories rely on venous blood draws for the vast majority of their evaluations, the use of serum (blood) samples is just one method of assessing biological function. Saliva, finger stick/blood spot and urine samples are not only more convenient, they often provide information that is more detailed and relevant in comparsion to that obtained from serum samples.
