Advanced precision microsampling

hemaPEN provides a convenient sampling procedure for collection and storage of four dried blood spot (DBS) samples to drive information-rich decision making.

Unlike conventional DBS sampling tools, hemaPEN enables collection of an accurate and precise fixed micro-volume, and is designed to maintain sample integrity for quantitative analysis.

An easy-to-use sophisticated microsampling tool in the handsof non-analysts.

Features and benefits

Pen-like design for intuitive use.
Ability to collect blood from any source.
Capillary-based technology enables autonomous accurate fixed volume collection.
Four replicate samples from a single source.
Eliminates analytically relevant hematocrit bias.
Single-use and tamper-resistant.
Contained sample to minimize contamination.
Consistent sample drying profile.
Dried format for simplified storage and logistics.
Samples integrated directly into analytical workflow.
Sample cartridge compatible with standard 96-/24-well plates.
2D barcode and individual device serial number for traceability and chain of custody.
Space available for customized laboratory labelling.

Recommended applications

Quantitative analysis
Small volume sampling
Frequent sampling
Remote sampling
Blood sampling

Product specifications

hemaPEN functionality remains consistent independent of substrate. Each hemaPEN is identified through a specific model number which references substrate material, volume of capillaries and hemaPEN model type.

Substrate	Volume reference	Model	Model number
