Product catalog summary
Introduction
Ahlstrom-Munksjö AutoCollect™ cards are designed for microvolume sampling, transport, and storage of dried blood spots (DBS) at ambient temperature. These cards are compatible with major laboratory automated equipment, enhancing the reliability and efficiency of DBS processing for LC/MS analysis.
Advantages of Automation
The integration of automation in DBS sample processing offers significant benefits, including improved traceability, volume control, timing accuracy, and a focus on result analysis rather than acquisition. AutoCollect™ cards are suitable for high-throughput environments and effective in DBS extraction or direct elution.
Applications
The DBS method is widely used in metabolic screening for newborns and is applicable in pharmacokinetic, toxicokinetic, drug metabolism, preclinical and clinical studies, human identification, biomarker screening, and viral load testing.
Design and Features
AutoCollect™ cards are made from high-quality, MS-grade purity fiber-based material, ensuring even biosample distribution. They are free from additives that could interfere with analysis, maintain stable dimensions, and are compatible with automated laboratory devices. Customization options are available for design, barcode, dimensions, and branding.
Testing and Performance
AutoCollect™ cards demonstrate superior performance with low background in MS analysis, reproducible blood spot size, and stability against solvents used in HPLC/MS. They outperform equivalent market solutions in precision and accuracy.
Future Outlook
Ahlstrom-Munksjö is committed to advancing automation in high-volume data analysis, collaborating with equipment manufacturers to provide customized solutions.
Product Variants
AutoCollect™ cards are available in white for blood samples and pink for colorless samples like saliva and urine, accommodating various study requirements.
Company Overview
Ahlstrom-Munksjö is a global leader in fiber-based materials, offering innovative solutions across multiple sectors. The company was formed through a merger in 2017 and is listed on Nasdaq Helsinki and Stockholm.
