Dried Blood Spots (DBS)

EUROIMMUN’s product portfolio, ideally complemented by highly sophisticated devices for punching dry blood cards, enables fully automated processing of serological tests based on dried blood spots (DBS) as sample material. Capillary blood, collected from the fingertip, is applied onto barcoded blood collection cards which allow complete traceability of the sample over the entire process. There are various automation solutions available, both for punching out the DBS (e.g. DBS Puncher® or Panthera-Puncher™ 9 from Revvity) and automated test processing, which are suitable for every laboratory size and sample throughput.

For example, the analysis of DBS extracts with EUROIMMUN ELISAs can be performed in the EUROLabWorkstation ELISA, the EUROIMMUN Analyzer I/I-2P or the Sprinter XL. For automated processing of immunoblot strips, the EUROBlotMaster and EUROBlotOne instruments are available. The communication with the LIS is established either directly via the respective instrument software, or conveniently via the EUROLabOffice 4.0 middleware, which allows optimal channelling and display of all information.

  • Complete traceability from the barcoded sample card to the final result
  • Flexible and scalable automation solutions for every laboratory size and sample throughput
  • Clear result overview including documentation and archiving of all relevant patient information by the optional middleware EUROLabOffice 4.0

  • DBS Holder

    • DBS Holder supports effective processing of sample material from DBS filter paper
    • DBS Holder fixes membrane punches to the bottom of the wells
    • Optimized for use in the EUROLabWorkstation ELISA
    • Direct loading of the deepwell plate with extracted DBS samples
    • Reduced hands-on time

  • EUROMappingTool

    • Software to support printing of labels for plates and labels for sample tubes.
    • Complete traceability and secure identification of all samples throughout the entire process
    • Interface to DBS Puncher® and Panthera-Puncher™ 9 (Revvity) devices: The plate layout generated by the punchers can be converted back into individual sample barcodes by means of this tool
    • Barcoded sample tubes can be integrated into existing workflows of the automated devices, such as EUROIMMUN Analyzer I or Sprinter XL
