truCOLLECT® Whole Blood Collection Kit

The Covaris truCOLLECT Whole Blood Collection Kit is a participant-ready self-collection system designed for decentralized genomics studies. The kit includes all materials and instructions required to quickly and easily collect 50 µL of whole blood via the enclosed fingerstick device.​​

No in-clinic visit. No cold-chain handling. No specialized storage requirements.​​

Covaris proprietary desiccation technology stabilizes whole blood within the truCOLLECT collection device at ambient temperature, preserving analyte integrity for downstream extraction, purification, and analysis while eliminating the logistical burden and expense of temperature-controlled transport.​​

Designed for intuitive, participant-friendly operation, the truCOLLECT Whole Blood Collection Kit reduces other important barriers associated with traditional phlebotomy. ​

For research teams, this means greater access to:​

• Rural and geographically dispersed populations – enables participation without traveling long distances
• Elderly, pediatric, and limited-mobility participants – volumetric sampling, easy fingerstick format, and in-home convenience can increase study compliance
• Participants in longitudinal or high-frequency sampling studies – increases compliance for participants required to provide repeated samples​
• Underrepresented populations in biomedical research – improves inclusion of communities with historically lower participation rates due to socioeconomic, proximity, or other barriers​
• Participants in global population studies – stabilization technology and standardized processing workflow simplifiy logistics and reduce cost of large-scale recruitment​

For laboratory teams, this unique self-collection format enables operational flexibility, significant cost savings, simplified sample intake, and standardized remote sample collection and processing at scale.​

The truCOLLECT Whole Blood Collection Kit serves as the first component of the broader truCOLLECT Solution, which integrates collection with an extraction workflow enabled by Adaptive Focused Acoustics® (AFA®) to support consistent, sequencing-ready analyte recovery.​
