  1. 2026

    Prevalence of chlamydial, gonococcal and syphilis positivity by anatomical site and sex via self-collected biospecimens using at-home testing kits among a large and diverse cohort of men and women enrolled in the MACS/WIHS Combined Cohort Study (MWCCS) in the USA

    The study found that self-collection of dried blood spots and other samples using at-home kits was a useful and cost-effective method for screening a large cohort for sexually transmitted infections outside a clinic.

    Implementation of a Capillary Blood Self-Sampling Technique at Home for Monitoring of Patients With IBD

    This proof-of-concept study demonstrated that patients with inflammatory bowel disease could successfully perform

  3. 2026

    At-home blood collection for clinical chemistry analyses in a kidney transplant population: a feasibility study

    Although most kidney transplant recipients successfully collected capillary blood samples at home, haemolysis and transport conditions affected analyte stability.

    To the homeRNAmax: Developing an Improved Blood Self-Collection and Stabilization Platform for Remote Transcriptomic Studies

    This developer study reports that a self-collection kit interfacing with a BD Microtainer produced RNA of sufficient quality and yield for transcriptomic analysis in a pilot group and a longitudinal rheumatology cohort.

  5. 2026

    Toward the Use of Centrifugation for Point-of-Care Plasma Separation: Evaluation of a Compact Battery-Powered Centrifuge

    A battery-powered centrifuge separated plasma from capillary blood collected in BD Microtainer tubes with quality comparable to conventional centrifugation of venous samples, showing excellent correlation for 24 amino acids (r=0.99) and low haemolysis.
