June 2023 — Trajan Scientific and Medical, a leading provider of analytical and life sciences products and solutions, today announced the regulatory approval of its Neoteryx remote blood microsampling devices, the Mitra® and hemaPEN® for clinical use in Europe and the United Kingdom.
Trajan has successfully fulfilled the required product safety and performance requirements under the In Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Regulation (IVDR) in Europe and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the United Kingdom.
Having earned this CE-IVD regulatory registration, Trajan expands the capabilities of its Neoteryx® microsampling products to provide decentralized, person-centered, minimally invasive blood collection in both clinical and research settings.
The Mitra device, based on volumetric absorptive microsampling with VAMS® technology, is a finger-stick blood collection solution for delivery of dried samples to the lab.
The hemaPEN device, based on volumetric microsampling with capillary and next-generation DBS technology, uses a single finger-stick to simultaneously collect 4 DBS blood samples of equal volume.
Mitra and hemaPEN devices can be used remotely to collect blood samples through an easy, virtually painless process. These devices can be used to ship dried blood samples via standard mail, and they deliver precise volumes and high sample quality compared to traditional DBS or other remote blood sampling technologies.
The precision and quality of the microsamples have been validated through studies conducted by clinical labs, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare organizations, and academic institutions worldwide, showcasing their seamless integration into laboratory analysis workflows.
“The updated regulatory approval of Trajan’s blood microsampling devices in the UK and European Union is another step forward towards our vision of personalized, preventative data-based healthcare,” said Stephen Tomisich, CEO and founder, Trajan. “Our growing range of microsampling technologies allow almost anyone to take an analytically viable sample outside the clinical setting, anytime, anywhere. In our view, that is essential to enable the healthcare systems of the future.”
