The Mitra® is a small, portable device with an absorbent VAMS® tip that is designed to collect a tiny, precise volume of blood. The Mitra device is used for capillary sampling from a fingertip or other site on the body. This approach is less invasive than venipuncture, doesn't require expensive cold shipping, and requires only a small blood volume for dried-matrix analysis.
- Number of samples collected: Up to four
- Substrate: Polymer
- Shelf life: 1,5 years
- Volumetric precision (%RSD): <5%
Mitra® devices are intended as a single-use, specimen collector and for the storage and transport of blood.
For transport of samples from end-user to the lab, the desiccant contained in the sealed specimen bag will keep the samples dry during transit. For long-term storage in a deep freezer of sampled Mitra devices (clamshells or
cartridges).
The samples can be placed inside a large storage bag containing desiccant, which keeps the samples dry
during cold storage in the lab. The zip closure prevents moisture from entering the storage bag. A label on the outside of both the individual specimen bag and the larger storage bag enables samples to be easily marked and identified.
Certificazioni: Mitra® devices are Class 1 IVD in Australia, Brazil & China, Class B in South Africa, and registered with health agencies in Canada and Ukraine.
