Blood Collection Made Easy: Anywhere, Anytime, by Anyone Blood Collection Devices Powered by Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling (VAMS™) Technolog

out of the waiting roomp into the living room • Microsampling makes therapeutic drug monitoring and clinical trials simple and less disruptive - for everyone involved • Patients and participants will experience new convenience, ease, and freedom - and stay closer to their families and communities • Enables innovations in health and wellness testing, patient-centered care, and the quantified self • An improved experience boosts adherence, compliance, and subject retention resulting in greater clinical insights from more frequent and timely specimen collections.

take blood collection out of the clinic • Microsampling enables access to hard-to-reach populations for healthcare and research • Blood Collection can now be performed anywhere, at any time, by almost anyone • Sampling can now occur on mountaintops, in the rainforest, or in isolated rural communities

small-volume sampling: what can 10-30 microliters do for you? • Microsampling provides a better experience for vulnerable patients, especially children and the elderly • Precise and volumetrically accurate samples provide data comparable to gold standard tests using plasma. • This technology is compatible with a broad array of analytes and panels, with more being added all the time

preclinical research: save time, save money, promote the 3Rs • Microsampling is your financial, ethical, and scientific advantage for animal testing • Cut costs, simplify workflows, eliminate expensive equipment and time-consuming processing steps, and reduce reliance on satellite populations • Sample from the same animal at multiple time points - get better data, use fewer animals, while working towards goals of replacement, reduction, and refinement.

FDA Class 1, CE-IVD Mitra® microsampling devices are powered by patent-pending VAMS™ (Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling) technology that enables accurate and precise collection of a fixed volume of blood (and other biological fluids). Fast Wicking Absorptive Tip Simply touch tip to biological fluid and a reliable specimen is collected in seconds Quantitative Collection Every Time Tip volumes are available in 10, 20 or 30 pL. All with < 4% RSD

explore our patient- and lab-centered formats Self and assisted sampling is easy and convenient with the user-friendly Mitra® clamshell and cartridge formats. With minimal training, almost anyone can collect accurate volume of blood. Streamline microsample accessioning and extractions with the 96-Autorack formats. Both the fully loaded and empty options are compatible with 96-channel electronic pipette and liquid-handling instrumentation. Clamshell • Economical way to get started with microsampling • Available in 2-, 3- or 4-sampler configurations for flexibility • Select from 10, 20, or 30...

Mitra® collection devices vs. alternatives VAMS'" technology - the heart of all Mitra devices - revolutionizes specimen collection. It combines the best of wet sampling, microsampling, and dried blood spotting in a state-of-the-art collection device that is easy to implement both in the field and the lab. Non-invasive draw technique (e.g., finger-prick) TRANSPORTATION / STORAGE Native barcode specimen tracking LABORATORY PROCESSING The FDA Class 1 Mitra microsampler retains the advantages of Dried Blood Spot (DBS) cards and adds user convenience and volumetric accuracy, eliminating the...

patient sampling workflow Streamline workflows with dried blood microsampling while providing a simple, more economical, and more effective approach to clinical testing and research. animal sampling workflow Mitra microsampling provides an ethical, scientific, and financial advantage for preclinical research while promoting compliance to NC3R guidelines. Eliminate processing steps, cut reliance on satellite populations, and reduce animal usage by up to sevenfold. With Mitra devices donors collect their own precise volumes of blood, with only minimal training, whenever and wherever it’s...

curious to know if your analyte is compatible with microsampling? Most likely, it is! Dozens of references prove that a wide range of analytes can be extracted from the Mitra® microsampler. Third party journal citations substantiate the benefits and utility of microsampling for applications such as therapeutic drug monitoring, infectious disease research, and remote specimen collection. Vitamins I Supplements vitamin D3, Folate Therapeutic Drugs antibiotics, anti-pyschotics, anti-epileptics, sedatives, and many more Hormones I Steroids estrogens, anabolic steroids, and more Proteins I...

it's a fact - stable dried blood specimens result in reliable data Several studies prove that bioanalytical data generated from specimens collected with a Mitra® device is accurate and dependable. When labs develop methods with simple and effective extraction protocols, the resulting analytical method will eliminate most forms of assay bias - such as hematocrit (HCT) and stability bias. The below study is for a panel of anti-epileptic drugs, the method developed optimized extraction efficiency to be greater than 86% - as a result, there were no examples of HCT bias or stability bias that...

dried capillary blood vs. gold standard wet specimens While lab reference values are established for assays run on traditional venipuncture specimens, there are many situations in which a capillary blood draw is advantageous. Research shows that capillary blood can yield high-quality results, which correlate to those associated with traditional venipuncture results. The blood plasma partitioning ratio will define the correlation between a plasma sample and dried blood sample. A bridging study defines the slope of a linear regression comparing the concentrations that would be determined from...
