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 1):
A blood collection device that does not require punching, or folding to obtain a sample for processing comprising:\n a flat rectangular elongated backer having a first end and a second end; a planar label area disposed on the first end upon which identifying information of a collected sample is recorded; and a separate absorbent pad attached at the second end of the flat rectangular elongate backer that does not require punching to obtain a sample whereby a blood sample is applied to the absorbent pad and dried for later testing, the construction of the blood collection device not requiring a folding, a punching out, or detachment of a portion of the blood collection device containing the blood sample, and whereby the identifying information of the collected sample stays affixed to the sample during processing of the sample.
