    Telimmune

    Simple, Rapid, Reproducible Collection of Plasma

    Shimadzu has partnered with Telimmune (formally Novilytic) to offer a powerful new technology for the rapid generation of plasma from whole blood.

    The Telimmune Plasma Separation Card is a high-precision volumetric plasma collection device for use by medical professionals.

    Unlike common blood vials and blood spot cards, it efficiently separates plasma and supplies a very accurate volumetric sample ready for analytical analysis.

    The Telimmune Plasma Prep Cards now come in two formats - the original Telimmune Plasma Prep Cards and the Telimmune Duo Plasma Prep Cards.

     

    The Telimmune technology collects a ~3 μL aliquot of plasma from ≥ 25 μL of whole blood in three minutes and stabilizes for shipping in just 15 minutes.

    Principal applications include but are not limited to population-based research, global clinical trials, neonatal screening for congenital disorders, toxicokinetic/pharmacokinetic studies, therapeutic drug monitoring, and healthcare accessibility initiatives in the developing world.


     

    Properties of the Telimmune Card: 

    • 99% removal of red blood cells (based on Hb levels in plasma)
    • Plasma sampling volumes of 3 µL (6 µL DUO)
    • Inter-card CV of ~1% (~3% DUO) in plasma collection volume at constant hematocrit (HCT)
    • Inter-card CV of 2% collection volume variation with 20% to 71% HCT
    • Proteins are deposited as a monolayer upon drying
    • Metabolites are present in the protein monolayer

     

     

    Significant advantages of Telimmune Card technology include:

    • Rapid sample preparation for MS-based analysis, while maintaining assay reproducibility and selectivity
    • Volumetric plasma sample collection using a single drop of whole blood
    • Specimen volumes as low as 25 µL
    • Telimmune cards simplify sample preparation. Eliminates need for solvent extraction, centrifugation and evaporation
    • Exceptional reproducibility independent of hematocrit
