The drug development process can be simpler. Recruitment, retention, and adherence / compliance can be improved. Significant points of friction can be removed. Powerful changes can be as simple as the way blood samples are taken.

Have you ever been asked to participate in a clinical trial for a new drug or medical device? Have you turned down such an offer because it seemed like too much trouble? Extra doctor’s appointments, lost hours at work, trips to the lab for bloodwork or urinalysis, keeping a diary… perhaps it doesn't seem to be worth the effort.

There are various stages involved in drug development. New drugs must undergo rigorous trials and evaluations before they get to the end user, the consumer. Here is a breakdown of the stages of drug development:

Over the past few decades, a need for better and more efficient healthcare delivery has been on the rise. As a result, there has been an influx of devices and applications developed all in the hopes of delivering smarter healthcare.

On Tuesday, June 25th, at 10:00 AM EDT, 4:00 PM CEST, Neoteryx, The Medicine Maker, and two leading blood microsampling experts present  The Science of Smarter Sampling for Drug Development, an in-depth hour-long webinar covering the details of how to succeed with blood microsampling technology in the analytical lab.

In this exclusive webinar, our expert scientists will share stories of success with blood microsampling in the lab and show you how it’s done. We’ll dig into the science of microsampling in the drug development process, in the bioanalytical lab and beyond.

Jeff Plomley of Altasciences will take a deep dive into impact-assisted extraction methodology – a novel, yet extremely effective sample prep workflow.

Pratap Davuluri from Unilabs York Bioanalytical Solutions will address the practical challenges of developing and validating a Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling (VAMS™) assay in the analytical laboratory.

And James Rudge of Neoteryx (and one of the inventors of VAMS) will be on hand to put things in context and answer questions.

You will:

We're tremendously proud of, and excited for, the work being done by independent research groups in developing extraction methodologies for Mitra^® samples. These groups have developed and validated their own powerful methods for the determination of immunosuppressants and antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) using Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling (VAMS™) technology.
