Applications and Experiments for the DBS Card Drying Rack
The rack holds freshly spotted DBS cards in separate horizontal positions while the blood dries, keeping each card off the bench surface. It can be used to dry samples collected for HIV early infant diagnosis and for DBS handling practice when training staff and students on clinical laboratory equipment.
- DBS sample collection: drying cards spotted with capillary blood taken using a Lancet 2.4 mm Disposable.
- DMLT and phlebotomy training: practising the collection, labelling and drying sequence for DBS cards.
- Sample referral: drying cards fully before they are packed for transport to a testing laboratory.
- Biosafety routine: placing used lancets in a Sharp Container Leak Proof Plastic at the same workstation where the cards dry.
Treat every DBS card as potentially infectious: wear gloves, let the spots dry on the rack, and follow your laboratory's biosafety rules when the used rack is discarded.
