Features

Trajan Mitra Microsampling Devices - Microsample collection kit

About

The Microsample Collection Kit Mitra format streamlines the blood microsampling process, enabling both assisted and self-collection at home or in the field. Each kit is equipped with device, barcoding for secure chain of custody, easy-to-follow instructions, all necessary finger-prick sampling supplies, and a return-mailing envelope, all packaged for global distribution. Ideal for remote blood collection, these kits ensure that samples can be directly sent to accredited labs for precise analysis.

For customization to meet the demands of large-scale projects or to optimize your workflows and logistics, please consult with our Microsampling Consultants. They will provide tailored recommendations to align with your project’s specific objectives.

All-in-One Solution for Remote Specimen Collection

Our Mitra devices can be packed in convenient kits with sterile components for safe sample collection. Kits can be shipped to your end-users.

  • 10, 20, & 30 µL volumes
  • Protective outer casing
  • Barcoding to manage chain of custody

End-users and laboratories must validate the use of the Mitra devices and Mitra Microsample collection kit for the particular diagnostic testing intended.

How to Use

Resources

Mitra devices deliver tremendous ease & value to specimen collection!

Mitra® Microsampling Devices offer a streamlined, flexible, and decentralized approach to biological specimen collection. Enjoy the benefits of easier trial recruitment, increased adherence / compliance, elimination of cold-chain shipping / storage & reduced reliance on trained staff.

The gold-standard in remote specimen collection

Powered by VAMS® technology, the patented Mitra® Microsampling Device offers a streamlined, flexible, and decentralized approach to biological specimen collection, transport, and preparation. Use Mitra to facilitate sampling direct from animals, humans, or tubes to collect precise, reliable dried microsamples compatible with a wide variety of downstream applications as evidenced by the hundreds of published peer-reviewed manuscripts and the millions of devices that have been used in the field.

Mitra: pioneering VAMS technology

Trajan’s proprietary VAMS® Technology is at the heart of the Mitra device, featuring a sampler tip crafted from a porous, hydrophilic polymeric material. This 'precision sponge' rapidly and consistently absorbs a specific volume of biological fluid—simply by contacting the source. The fluid is then allowed to dry acting as a stabilizer for most analytes.

Available in three tip sizes—10, 20, and 30 µL— and multiple formats, Mitra devices meet diverse end-user and analytical needs. Configurations include dual (2) or quad (4) samplers across various formats.  Collect from 20 µL to 120 µL per device based on format selected. Our team of expert microsampling consultants is on hand to provide scientific support, helping you choose the optimal format and workflow for your specific applications.

  • Reliable: Quantitative sampling with pipette-like precision (RSD ≤ 5%). VAMS eliminates traditional blood hematocrit biases and results in extremely low in-lab sample rejection rates. No glue used in assembly, no matrix interferences.
  • Versatile: Collect biological fluids—blood, plasma, urine, saliva, and even tears—efficiently from humans and animals (e.g., finger, arm, knee, tail, etc.) or containers. Manual to fully automated workflows are available.
  • User-Friendly: 99% sample acceptance rate validated by studies. VAMS tip acts as a fill indicator to confirm successful sampling. Outer housing protects against contamination and facilitates easy remote or home sampling.
  • Cost-Effective: Eliminate phlebotomy, couriers, and cold-chain shipping / storage requirements. Devices are compatible with standard automated liquid handling systems and available in various formats to suit different budgets.
