FLUISPOTTER HIGHLIGHTS

​GET STARTED FAST

Fluispotter^® is a compact system which can be employed in your animal facility as a Plug & Play solution. It requires no rebuilding of your facility, no tethering systems, no special cages.​ Place the catheter in a vein, attach the device, start the unit and off it goes.

​

LET YOUR ANIMALS MOVE

Fluispotter^® is tiny and is worn in jacket so the animals can do what they want even when being sampled. Fluispotter is the only wearable blood sampler in the world. We tested it in Göttingen Minipigs, dogs and humans.

​

IMPROVE ANIMAL WELFARE

Fluispotter^® is comfortable and painless to wear.

We know because ​Fluispotter^® has been tested on humans for up to 24 hours and it is both safe and comfortable.

​

GROUP HOUSE

Keep you animals together even while sampling.

We have tested Fluispotter^® in group housed dogs.​

​

GET ALL YOUR SAMPLES

Fluispotter^® samples blood without the animal noticing and without blood loss. So you can  take ALL the samples you want. No animal welfare cost for each sample.

​

DONT WORRY!

Fluispotter^® automatically maintains patency of the sampling catheter and takes all the samples you have planned. ​

​

Not just portable but wearable

Fluispotter^® weighs only 70 grams and is wearable rather than portable. Ideal when you want your animals to move freely and unencumbered.

​NO HEPARIN - NO ION-SUPPRESSION

Fluispotter^® does not rely on Heparin to maintain patency, so there will be no ion-suppression from heparin when you analyse your samples using MS.

​

MINIMAL BLOOD EXTRACTION

Fluispotter^® wastes no blood. The total dead volume in all tubing and device is less than 300 µL. All blood except the samples themselves are returned to the animal.​​

​

ACCURATE TIMING

Fluispotter^® will take your blood samples at exactly the time you planned - every time. Timing is based on online calibrated time sources.

​

COMPLETE DATA LOG

Fluispotter^® will keep track of everything. ​You will get a digital log with all events and sample time points after the session. The log can be qualified for GLP.

​

ACCURATE SAMPLE VOLUME

The sampling pump is highly accurate and delivers the desired volume with a variation less than 1.5%​. You can get GLP certified calibrated units if you need them for regulated studies. We tested the sampling performance in this ​study​.

​

FAST SAMPLES

Define a sample interval down to 1 minute between samples. No other system can sample this fast.​

​

DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE CARRY-OVER

Fluispotter^® was designed with bioanalysis in mind for pharmaceutical research. The sampling mechanism has no dead volume. In fact blood moves in only one direction all the time. No backwards flow or flushing is used or necessary.​
