We specialize in dried blood spot sample analysis
and routinely perform the following tests.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a vital molecule necessary for more than 500 enzymatic reactions. This molecule is essential for energy production, DNA repair, cellular regeneration and stress resistance. Research links NAD levels to the aging process, as they naturally decline over time. This decrease may contribute to reduced physical and mental performance.
NAD testing provides critical insights into the body's ability to repair itself and maintain optimal health. It is particularly valuable for evaluating the effectiveness of NAD-boosting supplements, such as nicotinamide riboside (NR), nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), and niacin. This ensures personalized, targeted, and safe supplementation. Without proper testing, interventions may be ineffective or lead to imbalances.
Our NAD test accurately measures both intracellular and extracellular NAD+ and NADH levels from dried blood spot samples. Using a highly reliable assay, we deliver precise quantitative results. Contact us for detailed test specifications and further information.
Omega fatty acids are essential polyunsaturated fats that support heart, brain, cognitive, skin, hair, joint, bone, and immune health. They also play a role in metabolism, energy regulation, and reproductive and digestive functions. Omega-3 fatty acids play a key role in managing cholesterol and inflammation, and also aid in fetal brain development. While Omega-9 fatty acids are not essential, maintaining optimal levels can enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. A balanced Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratio is crucial, as excessive Omega-6 can contribute to chronic inflammation, potentially leading to serious health conditions.
Omega fatty acid testing helps identify imbalances or deficiencies that may contribute to cardiovascular issues, inflammation, autoimmune disorders, neurological conditions, and skin-related concerns. This assessment allows for personalized dietary or supplement adjustments, optimizing health and providing evidence on the effectiveness of specific supplements.
We offer comprehensive analysis of essential fatty acids and key ratios, including Omega-3 to Omega-6 and AA to EPA ratios, using dried blood spot samples for convenient at-home testing. Results are obtained through advanced chromatography techniques. Contact us for detailed specifications and a full list of analytes.
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin essential for bone health, immune function, and mental well-being. It plays a key role in calcium absorption, helping prevent conditions like rickets and osteomalacia. Deficiency can lead to weakened bones, muscle issues, and a compromised immune system. The two primary forms are Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol), synthesized by the body in response to sunlight, and Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol), found in certain foods.
Despite the widespread availability of Vitamin D supplements, deficiency remains prevalent, as general supplementation guidelines often fail to address individual needs. Dried blood spot (DBS) testing provides a convenient, accessible, and accurate method for measuring Vitamin D levels, enabling personalized supplementation and monitoring of supplement effectiveness.
We measure 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in dried blood spot samples, delivering precise quantitative results using chromatography and spectrometry. Our Vitamin D DBS test is also suitable for neonatal and infant screening. Contact us for detailed specifications and data.
Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), or glycated hemoglobin, measures the percentage of glucose bound to hemoglobin in red blood cells. Since red blood cells have a lifespan of about three months, HbA1c reflects the average blood glucose levels over this period.
Monitoring HbA1c levels is essential for preventing type 2 diabetes, as early detection of elevated levels can allow for reversal without medication. HbA1c testing using dried blood spot samples offers a convenient way to track diabetes management and long-term blood sugar control. It helps assess prediabetes risk, monitor diabetes progression, and evaluate overall metabolic health. Elevated levels indicate the need for lifestyle changes or medical intervention.
We provide precise, quantitative HbA1c measurements using chromatography method. Contact us for detailed specifications.
Hematocrit measures the proportion of red blood cells in total blood volume, providing key insights into overall blood health.
Abnormal hematocrit levels may indicate underlying conditions. Low levels can signal anemia, while elevated levels may be linked to dehydration, cardiovascular issues, or pulmonary diseases. Low hematocrit levels can be associated with age-related declines in red blood cell production and renewal. This test is essential for assessing hematological balance and detecting potential health risks.
We perform hematocrit analysis from dried blood spot samples using spectroscopy. Contact us for detailed specifications.
In addition to our routinely performed tests, we offer a range of
specialized methods developed in our laboratory.
Advantages of DBS sample collection method:
Our DBS sample collection kits are certified in vitro diagnostic (IVD) devices, designed for efficient and accurate blood collection. Each kit includes all necessary components for easy and quick sample collection, such as a DBS collection card, protective sleeve, foil bag, lancet, and other essential items.
We offer customizable DBS kits and white-labeling options, allowing partners to integrate their branding and tailor kits to their specific needs. Ensure accurate results for your clients while maintaining a cohesive brand image.
