Dried blood spot samples to be used for SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody measurement
14 Oct 2024By using a minimally invasive finger prick, a dried blood spot (DBS) sample is obtained which is highly stable and easy to transport and store. NAB-Sure™, an ultrasensitive assay for anti-SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibody (NAb) can use DBS for serosurveillance of SARS-CoV-2. Discover how the sensitivity of NAB-Sure compares with that of other assays and explore how Spear Bio validates NAB-Sure DBS result accuracy by comparing to standard techniques.

Evidence Collection and AnalysisEvidence Collection and Analysis is the retrieval and subsequent investigation into criminal evidence obtained from a crime scene. Forensic genetic instruments, kits and reagents enable the analysis of evidence collected at the crime scene. Reagents and kits for presumptive analysis for body fluids such as blood, saliva and semen in addition to drugs and narcotics test kits are used for CSI. Fingerprinting equipment, forensic light sources, casting kits and equipment for collecting recoverable materials can be found in the directory.AntibodiesAntibodies are used in techniques such as confocal and fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, ELISA, ELISPOT, immunohistochemistry, western blotting and immunopreciptation. Select specific antigen reactivity, high specific affinity, low non-specific binding, monoclonal or polyclonal, primary or secondary antibodies and associated conjugates such as an enzyme or dye for visualization.Covid-19COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has led to a global health crisis with profound impacts on societies and economies.
