Abstract:
Disclosed herein are devices, apparatus, systems, methods and kits for collecting and storing a fluid sample from a subject. A device for collecting the fluid sample can include a housing comprising a recess having an opening, a vacuum chamber in the housing and in fluidic communication with the recess, and one or more piercing elements that are extendable through the opening to penetrate skin of the subject. The vacuum chamber can be configured for having a vacuum that draws the skin into the recess. The recess can be configured having a size or shape that enables an increased volume of the fluid sample to be accumulated in the skin drawn into the recess.

Claim (Index 1):
A device for collecting blood from a subject, the device comprising:\n a housing comprising a recess having an opening; a vacuum chamber in the housing in fluidic communication with the recess,\n the vacuum chamber configured such that activation of vacuum from the vacuum chamber draws skin of the subject into the recess, and \n the recess serves as a suction cavity for drawing the skin, wherein a volume of the skin enclosed by the recess under vacuum ranges from about 0.4 cm 3  to about 4.0 cm 3 , and a surface area of the skin in contact with the recess ranges from about 3.2 cm 2  to about 7.2 cm 2 , the recess comprising a size or shape configured to enable an increased volume of the blood to be collected under increased capillary pressure differential, the increased volume of the blood being dependent on a volume and/or surface area of the skin that is drawn into the recess; and \n one or more piercing elements that are extendable through the opening to penetrate the skin of the subject to enable collection of the blood while the skin is drawn into the recess.
