next generation, user-friendly DBS sampling
designed for manual and automated DBS processing
delivering dependable volumetric accuracy and sample security
volumetric accuracy + sample integrity = hemaPEN
The user-friendly hemaPEN® improves capillary sampling with its innovative design featuring four integrated capillary tubes. This setup enables the simultaneous collection of four consistent blood spots from a single finger-stick, directly transferring them onto four pre-punched industry standard DBS within the device. Designed for simplicity and precision, the hemaPEN® ensures that once collected and the device is clicked shut, the volumetrically identical samples are securely locked inside for maximum protection.
hemaPEN®: precision DBS for advanced diagnostics
The hemaPEN® is optimized for seamless integration into both manual and automated DBS processing systems, making it a versatile tool for various research and clinical environments. The hemaPEN® reduces the potential for sample contamination and degradation, ensuring that each sample remains pristine from collection to analysis. This meticulous approach enhances the integrity of the results, providing researchers and clinicians with reliable data for precise diagnostics and research conclusions.
volumetric accuracy
Quantitative sampling of low volumes of blood with pipette-like precision (RSD ≤ 5%). hemaPEN® eliminates traditional blood hematocrit biases. No glue used in assembly, no matrix interferences.
enhanced sample integrity
hemaPEN®'s enclosed system protects samples from exposure, reducing contamination risks and preserving the quality of biological specimens.
streamlined laboratory workflow
With pre-punched DBS cards and no need for aliquoting, hemaPEN® simplifies the lab process, saving time and reducing human error.
adaptable and user-friendly
Designed for both manual and automated systems, hemaPEN® facilitates high-throughput and precision in various research and clinical settings.
successful uses
