Rack Drying DBS Cards Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Rack Drying DBS Cards (Product Code: SLE/CL/47) is a single-use, self-supporting vertical rack that holds 10 dry blood spot (DBS) filter cards in a horizontal position while the blood spots dry. Its sturdy base keeps the loaded rack stable on the bench, and the cards are held apart so the spots do not touch each other or any surface. The rack is used to dry blood samples collected for early infant diagnosis of HIV and suits clinics, sample collection points and laboratories. It is one of the items of disposable lab equipment in India supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

Specifications

Typical Use

In early infant diagnosis, blood from a heel or finger prick is dropped onto the printed circles of a DBS card. The card must then dry completely before it is packed, because damp spots can degrade or grow mould in transit. Sliding each card into the rack keeps it flat with the spots facing up and clear of the bench, so air can reach both sides of the paper and blood cannot smear or pool at one edge.

Place the rack in a clean, shaded spot away from direct sunlight, dust and insects, and leave the cards to air-dry for the time set by your programme’s protocol without stacking or heating them. Once dry, the cards are packed for transport and the used rack is discarded with the clinic’s biohazard waste. Health programmes working with a laboratory equipment supplier in India usually order racks in the same quantities as DBS cards so every collection site has enough for each session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ten cards, each held horizontally.

Is the rack plastic or card board?
The listing gives chemical resistant plastic or card board. Please ask us which material applies to your order if it matters for your programme.

Can the rack be reused?
No. It is intended for single use, which avoids carrying blood residue from one batch of cards to the next.

Why are the cards held horizontally?
A flat position lets each spot dry evenly without blood running toward one edge, and keeps the spots off the bench surface.

Does it need any stand or clamp?
No. It is self-supporting and has a sturdy base for stability.

Can you supply racks for a national or regional programme?
Yes. Share the total quantity, the number of delivery points and the schedule, and we will quote for India or international markets.
