hemaPEN
hemaPEN® is an easy-to-use microsampling device that collects 4 volumetrically identical capillary samples from a single finger-stick. Click it shut & 4 DBS samples are locked inside until lab processing.
Indications for Use: Enables collection of 4 blood samples by a healthcare professional for shipment to an accredited laboratory for analysis.
volumetric accuracy + sample integrity + convenience = hemaPEN
Easy to Use
End-users like the intuitive pen-like design of hemaPEN® and the fact that a single finger-stick is all they need to rapidly collect four microsamples.
The hemaPEN collects a sample from any angle, so it is nearly impossible to under- or over-sample. This benefits end-users with limited mobility. Offer hemaPEN to remote study cohorts for sampling with ease – anywhere, anytime.
The hemaPEN is a one-time use, low-volume sampling device.
4 x 2.74 µL DBS samples = 10.96 µL
Minimally invasive method
Easy to use for a variety of cohorts
Sample collection from any angle
Barcoding to manage chain of custody
Easy to Secure, Store & Transport
The hemaPEN® ensures sample security, making it suitable for anti-doping in sports or other programs where sample tampering is a concern.
After end-users collect the samples, they place the point of the hemaPEN into its plastic base and push down until they hear a "click." That locks the hemaPEN shut and also transfers the 4 capillary samples onto 4 pre-punched DBS papers inside.
Re-seal hemaPEN in its specimen bag & ship to the lab. Internal desiccant keeps the samples dry during storage and transport.
