Applications and Experiments for the DBS Card
Dry blood spot paper lets a small volume of blood be collected on a card, dried and kept for later laboratory testing. It can be used to collect samples for HIV early infant diagnosis, and the pre-perforated spots simplify cutting out samples for PCR, making it useful clinical laboratory equipment for referral networks.
- Early infant diagnosis: spotting capillary blood collected with a Lancet 2.4 mm Disposable onto the five marked circles.
- Molecular laboratories: separating the pre-perforated spots for nucleic acid extraction and PCR.
- Sample tracking: matching the bar code on each card to the request form and register.
- DMLT and nursing training: practising DBS collection while wearing Gloves W/o Powder Nitrile Disposable and discarding waste into a Biohazard Bag.
Blood on the cards must be handled as potentially infectious; let the spots dry before packing and follow your laboratory's biosafety rules.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many spots are on each card?
Each card has five distinct pre-marked spots. They are pre-perforated, so individual spots can be separated cleanly for processing in PCR applications without cutting the card by hand.
How long does a dried sample remain usable for DNA testing?
The card has a stability of at least 24 months for DNA. Storage conditions in your laboratory also matter, so follow the testing laboratory's instructions for keeping dried cards.
Why does the card carry a bar code?
Bar coding gives each card a unique identity that can be linked to the patient record and request form, which helps keep samples traceable from the collection site to the testing laboratory.
Who supplies the Dry Blood Spot Paper?
These DBS cards come from Science Lab Supplies, an Ambala, India business that quotes laboratories, testing programmes, training institutes and distributors, and can combine the cards with racks, punches and envelopes on one order.
