The investigators are recruiting healthy volunteers to donate 1-5 (depending on study visits. and donors will be notified upon invitation) finger prick blood samples or venous samples to Entia for the further development and testing of our blood analyser. The venous samples are taken by a registered nurse hired via a third party company. The results of the blood tests are not informed to the participants unless they explicitly ask for it.
