For many years, this method of blood sample collection has been extensively utilized in some important areas of human healthcare (for example, newborn screening for inherited metabolic disorders and HIV-related epidemiological studies). Because of its advantages over conventional blood, plasma, or serum sample collection, DBS sampling has been valued by the pharmaceutical industry in drug research and development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDried Blood Spots: Applications and Techniques\u003c\/i\u003e features contributions from an international team of leading scientists in the field.
