Automated DBS-MS systems attached to Mass spectrometry analyzers, is a faster way to collect samples where a circular area of the DBS is directly eluted from the filter paper card without any punching.&nbsp; The advantage of using this is the reduced analysis and labor cost while improving the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/anchrom.in\/assets\/img\/blogs\/blog_desc_image\/AC09434D-4E96-4454-A41B-B506582B3759New%20born%20screening.png\"><em>Fig 1: DBS setup for the analysis of newborn screening<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dope testing of Athletes:<\/strong>&nbsp;DBS-MS can be used for anti-doping purposes. It offers a reliable high-throughput analysis with minimum turnaround time. In addition, with the Hematocrit (HCT) detection module, the results can be targeted to a hematocrit value. In 2019, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced the development and implementation of DBS for routine analysis for the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games in Beijing. The advantages included increased sampling intervals at the same time reducing storage and shipping costs of the samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Drug Testing:<\/strong>&nbsp;The use of DBS in drug screening offers an innovative way to simplify the blood collection process while reducing costs at the same time. It can combine on-site sampling and highly reliable and efficient drug testing, by sampling four small blood spots of about 10-20 uL from the fingertip of the subject and sending the samples to a centralized laboratory, where testing can be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Serological Testing:<\/strong>&nbsp;The formation and reduction of IgG and IgM antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 play an important role in epidemiological studies.&nbsp;Researchers have identified that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/anchrom.in\/dbs-ms.php\"><strong>Dried Blood Spot testing<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;(DBS) can be used for serological testing of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in a simple and hassle-free manner.&nbsp;The advantage of using the DBS-MS 500 HCT (Hematocrit) method is that the sampling numbers for blood-based detection of COVID-19 can be increased with accuracy, as the time of analysis is reduced significantly due to automation. By using the DBS-MS 500 HCT, the costs associated with sample processing, storage, and shipment can be reduced significantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/anchrom.in\/assets\/img\/blogs\/blog_desc_image\/795107D9-00B6-4DAB-B5B5-5D0A055CDC46Serological%20testing.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Fig 2: CoVid antibody analysis using DBS-MS 500 HCT for population screening<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DBS-MS as an alternative to conventional blood testing is a game-changer with multiple benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>References:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" type=\"1\"><li>Figure 1; CAMAG Application Note on New-born Screening using DBS-MS.<\/li><li><a><\/a>Figure 2; CAMAG Application Note on serological testing of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dried Blood Spot testing uses dry spots of blood on a paper card instead of liquid blood\/plasma.
