The DBS Collection Cards from MAIIA Diagnostics contain 10 pcs filter with pre-punched sample collection areas. 2-3 drops of blood (50 µL) are collected from a finger prick. The blood is soaked onto a collection filter and air dried for a few minutes.
When DBS samples arrived to laboratory, just pop out the DBS disc and put it directly into our Ant EPO gel column (Art.1430 or 1460, order separately), for extraction, immuno-purification and concentration of EPOs. This can be done with a regular tube rotator, some kind of vacuum source and a microcentrifuge. Easy and rapid purification without any expensive equipment.
Custom DBS card format and quantities are available. Do not hesitate to contact us.
