microsampling enables groundbreaking molecular research

The Mitra^® Microsampling Device is a technical advancement of dried blood spot (DBS) sample collection. Volumetric absorptive microsampling devices give easy access to remote sample collection by study participants anytime, anywhere.

The patented VAMS^® technology on which the Mitra device is based consistently collects a fixed volume. It allows researchers to conduct novel studies and publish meaningful research within budget and timelines. 

Publish Groundbreaking Research

Streamline your research! The Mitra device enables specimen collection from a vast population, opens up opportunities for funding, and delivers reliable results with quantitative specimen collection. 

• Accelerate recruitment with access to larger participant pools
• Mail samples directly to central lab for analysis – no field processing or freezing required
• Volumetrically accurate, stable dried blood samples reduce the incidence of reworks 
• Expand research and funding opportunities into low-resourced regions
