Dried Blood Spot (DBS) Lipidomics
We help you explore the lipid composition of your dried blood spot (DBS) samples.
The DBS Lipid Panel
Dried blood spot (DBS) Lipid Panel enables comprehensive lipid profiling from a minimally invasive sample collected by fingerprick onto filter paper. The dried matrix stabilizes lipids, and samples should be stored frozen prior to shipping, making DBS ideal for remote sampling, biobanking, and large-scale epidemiological studies with straightforward handling requirements. Lipids are extracted directly from the dried blood disc, capturing both plasma-derived and cellular lipid species from erythrocytes and other blood cells present in whole blood.
The lipid composition of DBS reflects the full cellular and circulatory lipid landscape, including phosphatidylserines and cardiolipins contributed by blood cells – species that may be underrepresented in plasma or serum alone. With Lipotype’s DBS lipidomics covering 24 lipid classes, compared to 16 in plasma, DBS provides a broader coverage of the lipidome, making it particularly powerful for capturing cell-associated lipid biology alongside circulating lipid species.
Dried blood spot (DBS) Lipid Panel supports in-depth analysis of lipid metabolism as reflected in dried blood spots. The expanded coverage of 24 lipid classes in DBS makes it especially suited for studies where a comprehensive lipid picture is critical, including research into autoimmune conditions, metabolic disorders, and hematological diseases. Cellular lipids such as phosphatidylserine and specific phosphatidylglycerols, associated with immune regulation and disease progression, are well-represented in the DBS matrix.
Dried blood spot (DBS) Lipid Panel is particularly effective for large-scale or decentralized studies, as the format supports self-sampling, frozen storage, and simplified shipping without compromising lipid integrity. It retains unique lipid species from erythrocytes and other blood cells that are typically marginal in plasma and serum. As a result, DBS lipidomics offers both logistical convenience and a richer, more complete perspective on lipid involvement in cellular and systemic biology.
