This procedure is called immunophenotyping. The test is often done using a technique called flow cytometry. How to Prepare for the Test No special preparation is usually necessary. How the Test will Feel When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away. Why the Test is Performed This test may be done for the following reasons:When other tests (such as a blood smear) show signs of abnormal white blood cells Blood smearA blood smear is a blood test that gives information about the number and shape of blood cells.

Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:Excessive bleeding Fainting or feeling lightheaded Multiple punctures to locate veins Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin) Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken) Open ReferencesReferencesAppelbaum FR, Walter RB.
