A convenient sample collection device for capillary whole blood that uses microfluidics to deliver the following capabilities and advantages over traditional dried blood spot collection:
Precise volume control
Standardization and reliability
Fully automatable lab processing
HemaXis DB incorporates a microfluidic chip with a standard filter card and a protective case to provide a practical solution for whole blood collection at the fingertip that can be performed by anyone, anywhere and at anytime.
HemaXis DB delivers an accurate and precise amount of blood with no bias due to hematocrit. The repeatability in volume control is comparable to a volumetric micropipette so there is no need for a sub punch as the entire spot can be used for extraction.
MICROFLUIDIC CHIP
– Core technology enabling easy blood collection by the user
– Ensures standardization of samples by accurately and precisely controlling blood volume
FILTER CARD
– Allows blood samples to be transported and stored at room temperatures in a dry format
– Standard filter card fully compatible with automated handling process at lab
PROTECTIVE CASE
– Facilitates easy handling during transfer of blood from microfluidic chip to filter card
– Credit card sized cover secures and protects samples
