One application of whole blood delivers two identical ≈3 µL plasma samples in three minutes. The Duo is ideal when an archived sample is required
- Consistent collection volume – less than 5% variation
- Plasma sample is independent of hematocrit
- No power source required
- Stabilizes sample for shipping in just 15 minutes
- Ideal for LC/MS, and other high-sensitivity analytical methods
The Telimmune™ Plasma Separation Card is a 3-minute plasma micro-sampling method used by medical professionals to volumetrically collect and stabilize a plasma specimen from an un-measured volume of whole blood. Immediate isolation of plasma from the cellular fraction delivers a standardized, stable plasma specimen that is not subject to metabolic variabilities sometimes associated with whole blood samples. The Telimmune technology collects a ~3 µL aliquot of plasma from ≥ 25 µL of whole blood in three minutes and stabilizes for shipping in just 15 minutes. Principal applications include but are not limited to population-based research, global clinical trials, neonatal screening for congenital disorders, toxicokinetic/pharmacokinetic studies, therapeutic drug monitoring, and healthcare accessibility initiatives in the developing world. The cards are utilized by both medical professionals and remote users, and they boast the distinction of being the first commercial product to produce an exact quantity of plasma from a few drops of blood without a power source or centrifuge.
