Dried blood spot (DBS) samples offer important advantages including minimal biohazard risk and room-temperature storage and transport, making them an ideal solution for newborn screening and blood sample collection in remote or resource-limited settings.
DBS samples are widely used in molecular diagnostics for the detection of important pathogens and are among the recommended sample types for transport-based testing by public health authorities in China.
To address the complex and difficult-to-standardize preprocessing workflows associated with conventional DBS cards, Supbio has developed an innovatively designed DBS collection card. Unlike traditional punch-based methods, standardized blood spots can be directly removed using forceps, significantly simplifying sample preparation and reducing contamination risks associated with punching.
This design improves sample consistency and testing reliability while providing an efficient and convenient solution for large-scale population screening, remote sample collection, and pathogen nucleic acid testing in challenging environments.
