Volumetric absorptive microsampling to measure iohexol and creatinine concentrations for estimation of glomerular filtration rate in cats: aligning animal welfare with practical feasibility

De Baets, H.; Brans, M.; Paepe, D.; Stove, C. P.
BMC Vet Res | 2025

This study validated ear-prick VAMS sampling for iohexol and creatinine measurement in cats. Converted VAMS results agreed closely with venous plasma, supporting a practical, welfare-conscious alternative for estimating glomerular filtration rate.

Development and validation of a streamlined workflow for proteomic analysis of proteins and post-translational modifications from dried blood

Foster, M. W.; Chen, Y.; Violette, M.; Forrester, M. T.; Mellors, J. S.; Phinney, B. S.; Plumb, R. S.; Thompson, J. W.; McMahon, T. J.
bioRxiv | 2025

This study developed a streamlined workflow for proteomic and post-translational modification analysis from 20 µL dried-blood samples. The method quantified thousands of proteins and modified peptides while establishing stability and processing best practices.

How microsampling is impacting pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic studies: volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS)

Protti, M.; Mandrioli, R.; Santos, H. M.; Lodeiro, C.; Capelo-Martinez, J. L.; Mercolini, L.
Bioanalysis | 2025

This review examines how microsampling is changing pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic studies in humans and animals. It highlights VAMS as a widely adopted quantitative approach because of its accurate fixed-volume collection and operational flexibility.

Evaluating the efficacy of the VAMS Mitra microsampler for whole blood trace element analysis

Ogunesan, O.; Zaborske, C. D.; Newsom, C.; Shafer, M. M.; Zierold, K. M.; Wickliffe, J. K.
Bioanalysis | 2025

This study evaluated Mitra VAMS for trace-element analysis and tested protocols to reduce background contamination. Rigorous tip cleaning improved detection performance while clarifying the method’s strengths and remaining limitations for environmental-health research.

Microsampling techniques and patient-centric therapeutic drug monitoring of immunosuppressants

Kocur, A.; Pawinski, T.
Bioanalysis | 2025

This review examines patient-centric microsampling for therapeutic drug monitoring of immunosuppressants. The approaches may improve individualized dosing and post-transplant care while reducing burdens associated with conventional venous sampling.

Connecting the Dots: Bridging Microsamples and Conventional Blood Matrices in Metabolic Biomarker Analysis

Thaitumu, M.; Gkanali, V.; Theodoridis, G.; Gika, H.
Anal Sci Adv | 2025

This review compares microsampling approaches with conventional blood matrices for metabolic biomarker analysis. It outlines analytical performance considerations and critical steps for integrating microsamples into biomarker discovery and clinical diagnostics.

Volumetric absorptive microsampling meets electromembrane extraction for the first time: Case example of doxorubicin and its metabolite in whole blood samples

Reguli, A.; Bavlovic Piskackova, H.; Lencova-Popelova, O.; Kollarova-Brazdova, P.; Sterba, M.; Pedersen-Bjergaard, S.; Sterbova-Kovarikova, P.
Anal Chim Acta | 2025

This study combined VAMS with electromembrane extraction to measure doxorubicin and its metabolite in whole blood. The optimized approach reduced matrix effects, improved throughput, and was successfully applied to samples from treated mice.

A novel approach for quantifying therapeutic monoclonal antibodies in blood through liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

Chi, T. H.; Lo, C.; Lin, S. Y.; Liang, Y. H.; Chang, W. C.; Yeh, C. Y.; Chiu, H. H.; Kuo, C. H.
Anal Chim Acta | 2025

This study developed an LC-MS/MS workflow to quantify three therapeutic monoclonal antibodies from VAMS blood samples. Measured concentrations fell within expected therapeutic ranges, supporting the method’s potential for less-invasive therapeutic drug monitoring.

Analytical and usability comparison of microsampling dried blood spot devices for glucocorticoid detection in sports using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry

Chen, C. C.; Lin, Y. E.; Hsu, M. C.; Lin, Y. C.; Chang, W. C.
Anal Chim Acta | 2025

This study compared the analytical and usability performance of four dried-blood devices for glucocorticoid detection in sports testing. Performance varied by format, and the findings support further validation before routine anti-doping implementation.

Quantitative analysis of cannabinoids and metabolites in oral fluid by volumetric absorptive microsampling combined with UHPLC-HRMS

Thiebot, P.; Magny, R.; Martins, P.; Houze, P.; Bloch, V.; Vorspan, F.; Auzeil, N.; Labat, L.
Anal Bioanal Chem | 2025

This study combined oral-fluid VAMS with UHPLC-HRMS to quantify cannabinoids and metabolites from 20 µL samples. Application to samples from cannabis users demonstrated sensitive measurement across a broad concentration range.
