Dried Matrix on Paper Disks: The Next Generation Dbs Microsampling Technique For Managing The Hematocrit Effect in Dbs Analysis

Abstract

The DMPD technique performed better than regular DBS by eliminating the hematocrit effect related blood volume bias. Although this effect was not observed with DMPD, a systematic error of 6.0% was detected and further technical development of DMPD could improve the performance.
