Punch DBS 3.0mm
Product Code : LSK-CL-11285
Punch DBS 3.0mm (SKU LSK-CL-11285) is a reusable punch that cuts discs of approximately 3.0 mm diameter from dried blood spot (DBS) filter papers, so a defined piece of each spot can be taken forward for laboratory processing. It suits sample-handling practicals in medical laboratory technology and molecular biology training. Science Lab Supplies quotes it from Ambala, India, together with DBS cards and drying racks, for training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the DBS Punch
The punch takes 3.0 mm discs from dried blood spot cards, so trainees can prepare DBS samples for downstream laboratory analysis without cutting the paper by hand. It fits the dried blood spot and molecular sample-preparation units of DMLT, B.Sc. MLT and biotechnology practical courses, and any teaching lab that handles DBS cards.
- DBS sample preparation: punching discs from the five pre-marked spots of Dry Blood Spot Paper once the card has dried.
- Card handling: drying collected cards on a Rack Drying DBS Cards, which holds 10 cards, before punching.
- Molecular biology practicals in which punched discs go forward to PCR work, for example in a 96-well PCR Microplate.
- Biosafety training: autoclaving the punch between sessions and treating dried blood as potentially infectious material.
Wear gloves when handling DBS cards, and clean or autoclave the punch between samples as your laboratory procedure requires.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each order line covers the reusable punch with its approximately 3.0 mm punching diameter. Dried blood spot cards, drying racks, envelopes and gloves are separate catalogue items that can be added to the quotation, and the number of punches the tool is intended for is confirmed on the quotation as well.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quotation can be raised for a single punch or for one per workstation across a DBS training laboratory, and Science Lab Supplies lists the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. DBS cards and shipment envelopes can sit on the same quotation, so the whole sample-handling set is priced together.
With an Importer-Exporter Code in place, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. Send punch quantities through the contact page or the enquiry cart; institutions buying through tenders can start from the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size of disc does the punch cut?
It has a punching diameter of approximately 3.0 mm and takes discs from dried blood spot filter papers. Check on the quotation that this diameter matches the protocol your laboratory follows.
Can the punch be sterilised and reused?
Yes. The punch is reusable and can be sterilised by autoclaving. It is intended to be disposed of after a set number of punches; ask us for that figure when you request the quotation.
What else does a DBS workflow need?
Blood is collected with a lancet onto a DBS card, the card is dried on a rack, and the punch then takes a disc for analysis. Cards, drying racks, lancets and shipment envelopes are all in the Clinical Laboratory range and can be quoted together.
Who supplies the Punch DBS 3.0mm?
This punch comes through Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which buys it in rather than making it and prepares one combined quotation for institutes, tender contractors and distributors ordering DBS sample-handling items.
