Capitainer^®B Vanadate is a next-generation dried blood spot sampling solution that is empowering laboratories across the world to provide fast and accurate PEth testing services. Capitainer^®B Vanadate is based on Capitainer's accurate and reliable qDBS technology. In addition, it incorporates our proprietary technology for integrating the phospholipase D (PLD) inhibitor sodium metavanadate (NaVO₃) in the DBS paper disc.

A New Standard for PEth Analysis

Capitainer^®B Vanadate is the only volumetric microsampling device scientifically shown to enable accurate PEth testing without risk of post-sampling formation^[1]. Microsampling with finger blood enables alcohol testing without the need for phlebotomy. Read the full publication of Beck et al.^[1] for more details regarding the advantages with Capitainer^®B Vanadate in PEth analysis.
