Sample collection
It all starts here.
An accurate sample is the first step in ensuring quality results later in a newborn screening workflow. Our streamlined dried blood spot sample (DBS) collection cards are designed to support accurate and reliable results.
The cards can be printed to the specific format of your lab, offering an easy and effective method for simple and precise DBS collection.
Sample preparation
Consistent practices in sample preparation contribute to reliable and reproducible test results,1 whether you are looking to simplify and automate your sample prep or use real time visualization to optimize your punching, our preparation instruments will support you in building stronger workflow screening processes.
DELFIA Trio
DELFIA Trio™ combines disk removing, washing, and dispensing into one instrument offering a streamlined workflow for manual DELFIA users.
DBS Puncher Instrument
The DBS Puncher™ automatically punches dry blood spot samples into microtitration plates. The punch has a changeable head, so the blood spots may be 3.2 mm, 4.7 mm or 6 mm in diameter.
Two plates may be loaded simultaneously and the plate height allowed is adjustable, so deep well plates can be accommodated. After punching, disk detection ensures that the disk is correctly placed in the microtitration well.
The DBS Puncher may be connected to a bar code reader for indentification of the patient sample. It may be run from an external computer, receiving a plate layout which specifies the sample codes for the wells and the punch sequence.
The instrument is controlled by hand or by footswitch. Ease of use is enhanced by a clear double line display, and by illumination of the area being punched.
Panthera Puncher 9 Instrument
Revvity has selected the technical solutions and materials needed to assure a new standard of punching excellence in terms of:
- Efficient use of sample material
- More plates simultaneously
- Enhanced traceability
- Good ergonomics
Panthera-Puncher 9 automatically punches dry blood spot samples into microtitration plates. Up to 9 microtitration plates can be prepared simultaneously, and up to 3 of the plates can be deep-well plates. There are five different punch head sizes (diameters 1.5, 3.2, 3.8, 4.75 and 6.0 mm) and 2 punch heads may be installed at a time so plates requiring different blood spot sizes can be punched simultaneously.
Panthera-Puncher 9 includes a camera to provide a clear full-color view of the punching area in real-time, and an automatically adaptable punch pattern that adapts to the shape and size of the blood spot. This allows optimal use of the sample material without requiring the user to adjust the pattern to fit the area to be punched.

- Easy positioning of the card
- Supports improved punching ergonomics
- Also the cassette/card barcode is read at the same time, with the same camera, in the same movement
- The user interface is controlled by a touch screen
Automatically adaptable punch pattern

- Limit values can be set for distance from the edge of blood and distance between the punches
- After its barcode is read, the card can be punched from either side
- If all queries cannot be processed using the same spot, the instrument will continue to process them from another spot on the same specimen card
- A fixed punch pattern may alternatively be set
- 1.5, 3.2, 3.8, 4.75, 6.0 mm punch sizes, two can be used in the same run
9 plate capacity
- 9 standard 96 well plates (ANSI SBS 1-4), with height 14 - 16.1 mm can be loaded in the instrument at the same time. Alternatively 3 of the available plate positions may be occupied by deep well plates, with max. height 44.5 mm, leaving 6 plate positions free for standard plates
- Significant improvements in the lab workflow of labs running more than 6 assays Punching 9 disks from one spot into different locations on 9 plates takes ~14sec
- Removal of static electricity by ionizer module in the punch area
Improved ergonomics
- Designed to allow more comfortable positioning of user's arms and shoulders
- The table may be raised or lowered electronically to suit the height of the user
- The height, distance and angle of the monitor can be adjusted.
Simplified user maintenance
- The user can remove the punch heads from the instrument, instructions shown in the user interface
- All covers are removable to support easy access for cleaning (wiping or vacuuming)

Migele Gel Electrophoresis Unit
Migele™ Gel Electrophoresis Unit works with the RESOLVE™ hemoglobin kit to detect hemoglobinopathies in newborns and adults, including sickle cell disease and other hemoglobin variants and thalassemias. Now, laboratories around the globe can conduct these crucial, lifesaving screenings with our easy-to-use, cost-efficient, scalable solution. The unit works with a water bath and a power supply to run the IEF gel. The recirculating water bath stabilizes the temperature of the gel during the IEF process, while the programmable power supply provides high voltage to the electrophoresis unit. When the gel is positioned in the unit and an electrical current is applied to the gel, the hemoglobin variant possessing an individual isoelectric point (pI) migrates through the gel. When an individual variant’s pI equals the pH in the gel, it stops migrating and forms a discrete band. When all hemoglobin bands have been focused, the gel is fixed in trichloroacetic acid. To ensure band visibility, we recommend that newborn blood spot samples be stained with our JB-2 staining system.
