I had another blood draw today for my GD test and it made me curious- what happens to the blood after the lab tests it? How is it disposed?

We put it right in the garbage!
… Kind of.
Normally, depending on the specimen type, we’ll hold onto it for a few days after testing is complete to make sure everything ran okay, and then we empty out the storage for that day with all the specimens of similar types and testing into biohazard bins where it gets carted away to a facility that can properly dispose of it
