Capillary Blood Collection Devices for Diagnostic and At-Home Testing Programs
Supera Fulfillment supplies capillary blood collection devices to diagnostic laboratories, at-home testing brands, and clinical research organizations across the United States. Sourced from manufacturers including Tasso and Neoteryx, these devices support fingerstick and microsampling workflows where venipuncture is impractical, unnecessary, or incompatible with direct-to-patient collection models.
What Capillary Blood Collection Is and When It's Used
Capillary blood collection draws a small volume of whole blood from the fingertip, heel, or other peripheral site using a lancet or integrated microsampling device. The resulting sample — typically 10 to 500 microliters — is sufficient for a wide range of molecular, immunoassay, and genomic assays when collected correctly and stabilized for transport.
This collection method is particularly well-suited for at-home testing programs where trained phlebotomists are not available, decentralized clinical trial designs that require remote participant enrollment, pediatric and geriatric populations where venipuncture is difficult, and high-frequency monitoring programs where repeated blood draws would be burdensome.
Devices We Supply
Tasso
Tasso microsampling devices, including the Tasso-M20 and Tasso+, use a painless vacuum-assisted mechanism to collect capillary blood without a traditional lancet stick. The devices are designed for self-collection, producing a consistent sample volume that is compatible with standard laboratory analyzers. Tasso devices are widely used in DTC health programs, clinical trials, and remote patient monitoring.
Neoteryx
Neoteryx Mitra devices use volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) technology to collect a precise, fixed volume of capillary blood on an absorbent tip. VAMS eliminates the hematocrit bias associated with dried blood spot cards, producing more reproducible quantitative results across a wider range of analyte types including small molecules, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Kit Integration and Fulfillment
Capillary blood collection devices are routinely assembled into complete at-home or direct-to-patient specimen collection kits at our Houston facility. Our ISO 7 cleanroom assembly operation packages devices alongside return mailers, instructions, biohazard bags, and requisition materials — built to your specifications and shipped directly to patients or collection sites nationwide. With 200+ laboratory clients served and Sitara Waidyaratne’s 25 years of clinical laboratory experience guiding every product decision, we help clients select the right device format before a single kit is built.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tasso devices use vacuum-assisted collection for a more passive self-collection experience, producing liquid whole blood samples. Neoteryx Mitra uses VAMS technology to absorb a precise fixed volume onto a tip, which is then dried for transport. The right choice depends on your downstream assay requirements and whether your workflow requires liquid or dried sample formats.
Many analyzers accept capillary blood when the sample is collected and stabilized correctly. Compatibility depends on the specific assay, the anticoagulant or stabilizer used, and the sample volume. We can help you match the collection device to your assay requirements during the kit design phase.
Yes. Tasso and Neoteryx devices are designed for self-collection and are routinely assembled into direct-to-patient kits at our facility. We handle full kit assembly, labeling, and nationwide fulfillment from our ISO 13485 certified, FDA-registered Houston operation.
Yes. Beyond Tasso and Neoteryx devices, we supply traditional capillary blood collection components including lancets, microtainers, and capillary tubes from manufacturers including BD. These can be sourced as standalone supplies or integrated into custom kit builds.
