Dried Blood Spot Card Punch
DBS – Dried Blood Spot Card Punch
- Hands-free, foot pedal operation for effortless sample punching
- Eliminates hand fatigue and repetitive strain from manual punches
- Speeds up sample processing and workflow efficiency
- Directly dispenses punched discs into collection plate wells or tubes
- Provides a clear, unobstructed view of the punching area for precise placement
The Chrom Tech DBS Punch is designed to streamline sample preparation in laboratories using dried blood spot (DBS) cards for clinical, forensic, or pharmacokinetic analysis. Its foot pedal activation enables simple, one-step operation—freeing up the user’s hands for handling samples and improving overall throughput.
Unlike manual hand punches that can cause fatigue or variability, the DBS Punch delivers consistent, precise results with minimal effort. Each punch allows direct transfer of the sample disc into 96-well collection plates or tubes, reducing handling time and potential contamination.
With a clear view window and robust construction, this instrument ensures accurate punch alignment and long-term durability. It’s an excellent addition for laboratories processing high sample volumes that require precision and efficiency in DBS workflows.
