General Questions

Our dry blood Collection card is a patented blood collection device which enables simple finger prick blood drop collection. The blood spot collection device is intended to facilitate in vitro diagnostic laboratory testing of finger stick blood samples for a variety of clinical chemical assays. The blood collection device consists of a blood collection card that contains a special membrane that separates the red blood cells from the blood serum. Once the blood sample is placed in the designated area and fully dried on the blood collection card, the patient places the blood collection card into the sample return pouch and mails it to their testing laboratory.

These benefits allow for more versatile use in remote settings all over the world. The simple collection steps make it so easy there is no need for trained medical personnel, like a phlebotomist, cold storage test tubes, dangerous needles, or painful vein punctures.
Our dry blood spot card has been used for over eight years in a variety of the top US laboratories. The storage shelf life has proved to last without issue over the past eight years and our studies continue beyond. Once the blood drop samples have been collected, the card has been tested for stability up to 165°F and can be kept in our special transport bag for up to two months. Temperature studies are test specific; one study does not fit all.
The dry blood spot card is not a test kit; the dry blood spot card is listed as a Class 1 Specimen Transport Device.
