explore microsampling for your application with the MitraClamshell
The Mitra® Clamshell is an economical way to get started with microsampling in order to validate VAMS™ technology from all perspectives - bioanalytical, operational, and end-user.
"The nurses taking the blood samples preferred this method over the DBS-method, Mitra doesn't need a ‘drying period,’ because the packaging is designed to not touch anything. Therefore, the Mitra stick can be put away immediately. DBS cards need to dry, which is in tropical area in not that fast. Having a couple of hundred cards standing around for drying is inconvenient, especially if working space is limited in the field and the DBS are exposed to sand, dirt, and wind.”
