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 hands of 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
