BLOOD SPOT TESTING
Dried blood spot is a form of collection where patients place blood drops on a filter card after a finger prick with a lancet. Once dry, blood spot cards are extremely stable for shipment and storage, and the dried blood format offers excellent correlation with serum tests.

Suitable for:

• Assessing total circulating hormone levels (free plus protein-bound)
• Patients with dry mouth and/or children who may have difficulty collecting saliva
• Monitoring hormone replacement therapy (oral, sublingual, pellet)
• Assessing thyroid health, fertility parameters, and cardiometabolic risk factors

Dried Blood Spot testing is superior to Serum for:

• Assessing interstitial tissue/capillary hormone levels reflecting topical or vaginal hormone supplementation
• Toxic and nutritional elements requiring a whole blood sample
• Self-collection of sample at home at a time convenient to you and avoiding a trip to the phlebotomist
