Liquid capillary blood collection from a single fingerstick

See Product Summary

Health ID MicroDrop™

The Health ID MicroDrop™ simplifies liquid capillary blood collection through a guided fingertip approach. After a routine lancet puncture, blood drops are channeled by an integrated funnel directly into a commercial microtube — no venous draw, no specialized site, no complex training. Each collection yields approximately ~0.5 mL/1 mL  of liquid blood, fully compatible with conventional laboratory workflows. The funnel-guided design reduces handling variability, improves transfer accuracy and standardizes a procedure that has historically been operator-dependent. Beyond the collection step, the MicroDrop™ device serves as the secondary transport packaging for the filled microtube, with built-in absorbent material to minimize risk in case of leakage and increase sample-transport safety.

See how it works

Before Collection

Warm and wash your hands, then prepare the fingertip with the alcohol wipe provided in the kit.

Instructions for use

During Collection

Perform the fingerstick with the kit lancet. Let the blood drops flow through the MicroDrop™ funnel directly into the microtube.

Instructions for use

After Collection

Remove and cap the filled microtube. Place the tubes back inside the case in the designated slots. Seal the funnel and the base with the cap provided. Repeat the procedure with a new tube if additional sample volume is required.

What you need to know

  • How does the collection process work?

    MicroDrop™ uses a familiar fingerstick procedure. After lancet puncture, blood drops flow through an integrated funnel directly into a microtube — enabling controlled, standardized liquid collection without venous access.

  • Is self-collection possible?

    Yes. MicroDrop™ was designed for both professional and at-home collection programs and requires minimal training.

  • Can more than one tube be collected?

    Yes. After completing the first collection, the filled tube can be capped and replaced with a new tube when additional sample volume is needed.

  • When is MicroDrop™ most beneficial?

    Home collection programs, laboratory at-home kits, remote patient monitoring, chronic disease follow-up, and any scenario in which a venous draw is impractical or unavailable.
