The poster goes through the work flow of the automation approach step by step. The experience with hardware and software so far will be reviewed, including experience with the built-in internal standard addition. The SCAP DBS has patent pending technology applied and is simple to use. The approach of eluting the dry blood sample off the card directly to a multi-column system by-passes all manual and cumbersome treatment steps of the sample cards. First results from needed cycle times and throughput will be presented. Beta test results with analytical data compared to the traditional manual method will also be shown. We look forward to sharing this exciting new technique with you.

DBS Automated PAL

As Seen at the CPSA October 2010




LEAP Technologies will present "Novel Walk Away Automation for DBS sample extraction from 4-Spot Cards to LC-MS" at the CPSA 2010 annual meeting being held at the Bucks County Sheraton Hotel, 400 Oxford Valley Road, Langhorne, Pennsylvania 19047.
To see information about this Dried Blood Spot system please visit us on Tuesday, October 19th from 1 - 3:30pm at our Poster.

The Dry Blood Spot (DBS) technique of eluding the blood sample from filter paper cards still lacks simple, reliable and inexpensive automation until today with LEAP Technologies and the PAL Platform. There are approx.100 methods/applications known for these sample carrier DBS cards. In many such areas automation will be a tremendous benefit. It will not only be labor saving, but also decrease handling, which means less errors and more consistency in getting the samples introduced into a separation and then the analytical system.
The poster goes through the work flow of the automation approach step by step. The experience with hardware and software so far will be reviewed, including experience with the built-in internal standard addition. The SCAP DBS has patent pending technology applied and is simple to use. The approach of eluting the dry blood sample off the card directly to a multi-column system by-passes all manual and cumbersome treatment steps of the sample cards. First results from needed cycle times and throughput will be presented. Beta test results with analytical data compared to the traditional manual method will also be shown. We look forward to sharing this exciting new technique with you.
