Iohexol plasma clearance simplified by dried blood spot testing [PDF]
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2017 Abstract Background Renal function can be estimated with formulas, which are inaccurate, or measured with gold standard methods, which are reliable but unpractical. We propose to simplify the plasma clearance of iohexol, a gold standard method to measure renal function, by dried blood spot (DBS)

Fully Automated Forensic Routine Dried Blood Spot Screening for Workplace Testing [PDF]
Journal of Analytical Toxicology, 2018 In this study, we describe the transfer of a new and fully automated workflow for the cost-effective drug screening of large populations based on the dried blood spot (DBS) technology. The method was installed at a routine poison control center and applied for DBS and dried urine spot (DUS) samples. A fast method focusing on the high-interest drugs and
