Volumetric absorptive microsampling at home as an alternative tool for the monitoring of HbA1c in diabetes patients [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Microsampling techniques have several advantages over traditional blood collection. Dried blood spot (DBS) sampling and blood collection with heparinized capillaries are the standard techniques. Volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) is a
