Dried blood spot (DBS) is an easy way of collecting, shipping and storing blood samples. In the recent years the usage of dried blood spot to detect various diseases has gained considerable importance. With new advancements researchers have developed a speedy method that can be used to screen a range of genetic and acquired clinical conditions from a single dried blood spot.

Dried blood is stored on a filter paper for diagnostic purposes. It is a simpler way of storing samples for future diagnostic purposes as compared to frozen blood samples in tubes. It is also cheaper and reduces carbon footprint. Stored blood samples can be successfully used for finding disease markers that can be used for early detection of diseases, when they are still curable.

DBS testing (dried blood spot testing) is the future of convenient blood testing. In this method a few drops of blood are collected via a sample prick, is collected on to sample collection card, this card is the dried and transported to the laboratory for analysis. In the last few years, DBS Sampling has been extensively used in healthcare (for example, newborn screening, various screening and HIV related epidemiological studies) taking advantage of smaller sampling needs and simplified sample collection, storage, handling and transportation. This convenient process allows flexibility of testing at the right time of day, month or following any therapy.
