Effortless, painless, and done in the comfort of your home. With a quick finger prick, simply add a few drops of blood to the device. The sample dries within minutes and is then sealed in a secure pouch, ready to be shipped to the lab for analysis.

Yes, it is. The procedure is designed to be user-friendly, requiring only a quick fingerstick to extract a few drops of blood. Afterward, just pack the device in the transport pouch and send it off. No special storage or complex shipping logistics are needed.

No, specialized logistics are not necessary. After collection, the sample dries within the device, with desiccants and oxygen scrubbers ensuring long term stability. The device desing minimizes contamination risks and enables safe shipping using standard transportation methods.

After applying 4 drops of blood, an average of 18.4 µL of plasma was recovered on an 85 mm² dried separation membrane, with a coefficient of variation (CV%) of 18.8%. Use of a correction analyte is recommended for optimal accuracy.

The device’s analytical performance has been validated for cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and creatinine. With chloride concentration normalization, inter-assay imprecision ranged from 2.89% to 4.99%, and intra-assay imprecision from 3.29% to 4.85%. The mean bias for estimated serum concentrations from dried plasma measurements ranged between -0.74 and 1.64%.

No statistically significant differences were observed in corrected concentrations for blood volumes of 160, 200, and 240 µL. Similarly, samples with hematocrit levels of 30% and 50% showed no significant differences compared to the reference hematocrit of 40%.

Analyte stability is confirmed for at least 14 days at 40°C when stored within the device’s protective pouch.

Additional validation studies are ongoing.

Capillary blood collection opens new horizons by tapping into unexplored markets that traditional methods haven’t fully reached. This approach brings unique advantages: high patient engagement and a more comfortable, user-friendly experience.

Ideal for large populations, capillary collection simplifies processes with minimal logistical and specialized site requirements, making it perfect for population screening. Laboratories can create a new “at-home lab test” experience by sending collection kits directly to patients, allowing for sample collection from the comfort of home.

Capillary collection is also excellent for clinical trials and prescreening, providing scalability and speed through decentralized, at-home sampling. For patients with challenges using traditional methods—such as children and the elderly—this minimally invasive method offers a gentler alternative.

Additionally, it’s suited for occupational health, allowing sample collection directly within companies, removing the need for employees to travel to collection sites. Health insurance providers can also benefit, using capillary collection for onboarding new beneficiaries to gain a comprehensive health profile right after enrollment.

These advantages make capillary blood collection an innovative solution for a range of markets, each benefitting from its simplicity, efficiency, and patient-centered design.
