What DBS Is & Why It Works
Filter paper standards, room-temp stability, DBS vs. venous draws.
Collection Workflow, Step by Step
Six-step protocol with video walkthrough and common mistakes.
Best Practices & Troubleshooting
Fully saturated spots, stalled blood flow, contamination avoidance.
The ADX 100 Card & Analytes
Whatman 903 vs ADX 100, lipid requirements, full biomarker menu.
Storage, Packaging & Shipping
Drying times, desiccant pouches, overnight shipping standards.
Combining DBS + Saliva
Pairing DBS with saliva — hormones, stress markers, one session.
— What We Test
One finger prick.
Rich biomarker data.
CRP
C-Reactive Protein
Systemic inflammation marker. Predictor of cardiovascular risk.
HbA1c
Hemoglobin A1c
2–3 month glycemic window. Diabetes risk and metabolic health.
IL-6
Inflammatory Cytokines
IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10 — pro- and anti-inflammatory signals.
Cardiometabolic Panel — All Four in One Session
HbA1c, CRP, and cytokines can all be captured from a single DBS collection. One finger prick, one shipment, one workflow.
— WHO IT’S FOR
