DBS-MS 500 Hematocrit
Dried Blood Spot testing uses dry spots of blood on a paper card instead of liquid blood/plasma. It is an easy way of collecting, shipping and storing blood samples. DBS has several advantages over collection of liquid blood. CAMAG DBS-MS 500 HCT enables a fully automated system capable of barcode based sample ID, automated spraying of an internal standard to the blood spot, followed by sample extraction. The extract is guided online to an analytical system of choice (i.e. MS/MS- MS/LC-MS/PAL-ELISA), and the system is cleaned after each extraction to ensure zero carryover. Its applications are enormous, from newborn screening, dope testing of athletes, drug testing, serological surveys , therapeutic drug monitoring etc. Newborn Screening: The traditional punch-and-elute Newborn Screening testing sample collection method is a very labor-intensive process. Automated DBS-MS systems attached to Mass spectrometry analyzers, is a faster way to collect samples where a circular a
