Alpha Solutions® At Home

Capillary Blood Collection Kits

Acknowledging the growing demand for patient samples to be collected at home, Alpha Solutions® encompasses a range of at home collection kits to support and enhance patient pathways, whilst reducing the need for hospital appointments and improving health monitoring capacities.

Not only do the kits support the patients and frontline healthcare providers by providing solutions to protect and stabilise the samples as quickly as possible, the laboratory is provided with high-quality samples. This results in fewer rejections, quicker processing time, and aids ISO 15189:2022 accreditation.

Where required, kits are UKCA marked demonstrating that all components aligned with the application are of the highest quality, and meet health and safety requirements. Within this scope, kits are assembled under ISO 13485 Quality Management Standards, the gold standard for medical devices.

Alpha Solutions® At Home Capillary Blood Collection Kit

The full potential of home blood sampling is now being realised. Alpha Solutions provide a range of Capillary Blood Collection Kits that are suitable for the diagnosis and/or monitoring of disease. Capillary blood has been validated for a number of assays, and found to be suitable for measuring a variety of analytes. These include lipid profile testing for heart disease, liver function tests, diabetes, hormone level monitoring, and assessment of HIV status.

Whether you require a branded sleeve design, specific box layout, personalised instructions for use, or a specific requirement and function of components, Alpha Solutions has the expertise to support you every step of the way.
