Capitainer® Sample Discs (48 discs / Sheet)

Cut to the same diameter as in Capitainer® sampling devices

The sample disc sheets contain the same pre-cut material, cut to the same diameter as in Capitainer® sampling devices. The discs are laser cut with a small attachment to the sheet frame. Each individual disc is easily pushed through with a pair of tweezers or a clean pipette tip.

Notes

The following notes highlight important methodological considerations and limitations relevant to sample handling and analysis.

  • The sample discs with pipetted sample should not be considered a complete matrix match to samples collected via Capitainer®
  • The method to measure and apply sample to the discs may not match the accuracy and precision of the complete product.
  • The indicated sample volume is the volume of the corresponding complete product, the total absorption capacity of the discs might be higher.
  • Applying sample with the disc remaining in the frame, may cause migration of sample material outside of the
sample disc.

How to use

Detach the number of discs you want to use and place them in a 96 well plate well or another container of your choice. The sample material is pipetted directly on to the sample disc and allowed to dry. Drying time varies with the atmospheric humidity and is typically between 3-9 hours. This creates a dried sample spot on a paper matrix which can then be used for laboratory evaluation and development work.
