Fully automated capillary blood collection

See Product Summary

Health ID MicroBlood™

The Health ID MicroBlood™ is a fully automated capillary blood collection system that delivers liquid blood samples — up to 1 mL — directly into commercial microtubes, without venous puncture.

Applied to the upper arm, MicroBlood™ integrates lancet activation and controlled vacuum extraction in a single device. After activation, the system performs a precise microincision and automatically draws blood — minimizing operator dependence and standardizing one of the most variable steps in the diagnostic chain.

See how it works

Before Collection

Prepare the collection site and apply MicroBlood™ to the upper arm.

Instructions for use

During Collection

Activate the device. Microincision and vacuum-assisted extraction run automatically with controlled volume and flow.

Instructions for use

After Collection

Remove the device from the upper arm. Afterwards, remove the filled microtube and prepare the sample for transport to the laboratory.

What you need to know

  • How does the collection process work?

    MicroBlood™ is applied to the upper arm. Once activated, the device performs a controlled microincision and initiates automatic vacuum-assisted extraction, channeling liquid blood into a standardized microtube. The procedure takes only a few minutes and requires no venous puncture.

  • Is self-collection possible?

    Yes. MicroBlood™ supports both assisted environments and at-home programs, including telehealth and decentralized clinical studies.

  • Is specialized logistics required?

    Because MicroBlood™ collects liquid blood, transport conditions depend on tube additive and analyte. Standard clinical packaging applies, and cold-chain logistics may be used when required.

  • What is the analytical performance?

    MicroBlood™ delivers standardized liquid samples compatible with clinical chemistry, immunoassays, molecular diagnostics and therapeutic drug monitoring. Performance is validated against laboratory-specific protocols.

  • When is MicroBlood™ most beneficial?

    Remote patient monitoring, decentralized clinical trials, chronic disease follow-up, pediatric or difficult venous access patients, and any decentralized healthcare model requiring standardized liquid capillary samples.
