Dried Blood Spot (DBS)
Revolutionizing Sample Collection and Analysis
Dried Blood Spot (DBS) is a powerful and widely adopted technique in diagnostic medicine, offering a simple yet effective method for collecting blood samples on specialized filter paper. Originally developed in the 1960s, DBS revolutionized neonatal screening, allowing for efficient and reliable testing with minimal blood volumes. Today, the DBS method is used in various fields, including pharmacokinetics, epidemiology, and infectious disease monitoring.
DBS provides key advantages such as easy sample transportation, reduced risk of contamination, and long-term storage without the need for refrigeration. These benefits have made DBS a preferred method in both clinical and research settings worldwide.
In addition to DBS, the Dried Matrix Spot (DMS) method extends the same principles to other biological matrices such as saliva, urine, or plasma. This innovative technique allows for even broader applications in diagnostic testing and bioanalysis, providing a versatile solution for sample collection in diverse environments.
We specialize in advanced DBS and DMS technologies, offering state-of-the-art systems to streamline sample preparation, improve accuracy, and enhance laboratory efficiency. Our collaboration with Masdiag, a leading laboratory specializing in DBS analysis, ensures that our devices are continually refined and optimized to meet the highest standards of precision and reliability. Thanks to this partnership, our solutions remain at the cutting edge of DBS technology.
- Automatic evaluation of dry blood spot samples for LC/MS analysisThe dry spot analysis has become so popular that even self-sampling kits are now available. However, many external factors can affect the analytical value of the sample. First of all, there is a risk of error during sample collection by a patient — blood can be squeezed out or rubbed on the surface of the… Read more: Automatic evaluation of dry blood spot samples for LC/MS analysis
- Machine vision algorithmsMachine vision algorithms are increasingly utilized in the detection and analysis of blood samples on dried blood spot (DBS) cards due to their precision, speed, and ability to handle large volumes of data. These algorithms often employ image processing techniques such as thresholding, edge detection, and segmentation to identify and isolate blood spots from the… Read more: Machine vision algorithms
