Standard Venipuncture vs a Capillary Blood Collection Device for the Prospective Determination of Abnormal Liver Chemistry.

Background: Abnormal liver function is a common manifestation of human disease and may also occur in approved and investigational medications as drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Capillary blood collection devices may allow for more frequent and convenient measurement outside of the clinic. Validation of such approaches is lacking.

Self-collection of capillary blood using Tasso-SST devices for Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibody testing.

Background: Efforts to minimize COVID-19 exposure during the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic have led to limitations in access to medical care and testing. The Tasso-SST kit includes all of the components necessary for remote, capillary blood self-collection. In this study, we sought to investigate the accuracy and reliability of the Tasso-SST device as a self-collection device for measurement of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies.
