To facilitate preparation and shipping of blood samples, Immundiagnostik has developed the D-Vital ID^® test kit for dried blood spots from capillary blood. This material can be mailed without cooling via conventional couriers to a laboratory for analysis with Immundiagnostik’s 25-OH Vitamin D ELISA.

 The D-Vital ID^® test set contains a lancet for convenient sampling of capillary blood from the fingertip in the physician’s office or at home. The benefits are obvious: A sometimes difficult and awkward venous blood withdrawal by medicinal personnel is no longer necessary. Using a plastic pipet, the blood sample is dropped onto a matrix for brief drying. There is no time pressure with further proceedings: The dried blood sample can be stored without cooling and sent to the analyzing laboratory at a later time point. This procedure uncouples blood sampling from the physician’s office since patients can prepare the dried blood spot at home.
Vitamin D status analysis of the D-Vital ID^® samples is exclusively coupled to the 25-OH Vitamin D ELISA by Immundiagnostik. This market-proven assay delivers reliable Vitamin D data which are comparable in their diagnostic accuracy with reference methods such as HPLC or LC-MS/MS.
With the D-Vital ID^® Immundiagnostik complements its prime quality Vitamin D lab diagnostics portfolio by a product, which significantly simplifies preparation and shipping of blood samples, thus enabling a widespread and convenient monitoring of patients’ Vitamin D status.
