Adaptation of the Ultrasensitive HIV-1 p24 Antigen Assay to Dried Blood Spot Testing
JAIDS Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes, 2007 Implementation of molecular tests for the assessment of pediatric HIV-1 infection in resource-limited countries is difficult because of technical complexity and costs. Alternatives like the ultrasensitive HIV-1 p24 antigen enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay have therefore been proposed.

Dried Blood Spot Test Estimation of Urea [PDF]
Annals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 1985 The analysis of urea in serum and whole blood samples dried onto filter paper has been investigated. In both cases the sample volume is not critical nor is the volume of sample applied to the filter paper if sample discs of consistent dimensions can be punched from the dried paper. The method must be calibrated by a serum-based material not an aqueous
