Sample Storage

Collected qDBS samples can be stored at room temperature.

The stability of individual analytes in DBS samples should be validated by the responsible laboratory. In general, stability increases with lower temperature and lower humidity. qDBS discs can be stored in the freezer to extend stability. Please refer to the extensive literature for traditional DBS samples as guidance for individual analytes.

Disposal

Dispose according to local regulations. Take care with blood stained materials and sharps.
