Abstract:
Specially designed collection strips and their processing. By using specially designed collection strips, having a backer and one or more absorbent pads, in conjunction with a unique processing method, the processes of analyzing biological samples such as blood, or the like, may be done efficiency with the elimination of cross contamination risk. Identification of the sample stays with the sample throughout the process as it resides on the collection strip. The strip absorbs a known volume. The sample with identification is placed directly in an elution solution, without mechanically separating the sample from its identification information. Elimination of the need for mechanical separation tends to reduce cross contamination, as well as reducing sample processing time.

Claim (Index 15):
A method for processing a blood sample comprising:\n placing a collection strip constructed in the form of a flat rectangular elongated backer with at least one collection pad of a plurality of collection pads attached to it that does not require punching to obtain a sample with a first absorbent collection pad containing a dried blood sample, and identification attached directly on the collection strip into a titertube containing an elution buffer; eluting the dried sample from the first absorbent collection pad containing the dried blood sample; removing the collection strip from the titertube; and testing the eluted blood sample produced in the titertube.
