干血滴分析的自动化处理和未来的发展方向

Automatable Processes and Future Directions in Dried Blood Spot Analysis

在过去的几年中,采用干血滴分析用于小分子定量的做法显著增多。在此领域的科学家们正努力寻求着一种与常规处理液体样品效果相同的方法。越来越多的相关技术已被广泛地应用于采样、储存、运输和生物样品的分析等各个方面。

The use of dried blood spots （DBS） for the quantification of small molecules has increased significantly in the past several years. Scientists who employ this technique are struggling with ways to achieve the same level of efficiency that is commonplace in the handling of liquid samples. As adoption of the method increases and becomes more widespread for the sampling, storage, shipment, and analysis of bioanalytical samples, so, too, will the technology associated with it.
