Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for transferring fluid from a blood collection tube to a glass capillary tube. This eliminates the need for health care workers to open the blood collection tube, insert a glass capillary tube into the blood collection robe, pipet a fluid such as blood into the tube and be exposed to the excess fluid from the capillary tube. The apparatus of the present invention is directed to a transfer device, and a dispenser which can be used with the transfer device, for carrying out this method.
