Our customers are achieving breakthroughs in preclinical animal research. A shining example is the work involving in vivo PK studies that's happening at the Finnish company Admescope.
"Mitra is very handy when taking samples from rodents and especially with mice as you can take up to 6-8 blood samples from the same mouse over the 24-hour period in a basic PK study," says Dr. Janne Mannila, Head of In Vivo PK Studies at Admescope.
"With the traditional sampling method, you can only take 1-2 samples from a single mouse in such a study and you would have to use 3-4 animals to get all the endpoints for the PK profile which leaves room for error on the basis of physiological variation between individual animals," says Dr. Mannila. "This can be avoided by using microsampling. Also, with microsampling you can greatly reduce the number of test animals needed for a single study leading to reduced costs and of course better adherence to the 3R principle. In addition, our lab technicians really like using Mitra for sampling as it is very easy to use. The samples don’t require freezing and even the preparation for LC-MS analysis is straightforward."

The Mitra Device is a single-use, non-sterile device used as a specimen collector and for the storage and transport of blood or other biological fluids. It is designed to be used by laboratory and healthcare professionals, or end-users as a container to collect and transport blood or other biological fluids. It is not specific to any clinical test, and is not for use in diagnostic procedures. Use of the Mitra Microsampler in Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs) requires further processing including the establishment of performance characteristics and successful validation by the laboratory in a manner consistent with CLIA and/or other regulatory requirements.
The Mitra Microsampling Device is a FDA listed Class 1 exempt device, CE-IVD self-certified in the UK and EU, a Class I IVD in Australia, and registered with Health Canada. Neoteryx operates a Quality Management System (QMS) that is based on FDA good manufacturing practices, 21 CFR 820 regulations, and ISO-13485.
