Capillary blood self-collection for high-throughput proteomics.

ABSTRACT: In this study, we sought to compare protein concentrations obtained from a high-throughput proteomics platform (Olink) on samples collected using capillary blood self-collection (with the Tasso+ device) versus standard venipuncture (control). Blood collection was performed on 20 volunteers, including one sample obtained via venipuncture and two via capillary blood using the Tasso+ device. Tasso+ samples were stored at 2°C-8°C for 24-hs (Tasso-24) or 48-h (Tasso-48) prior to processing to simulate shipping times from a study participant's home. Proteomics were analyzed using Olink (384 Inflammatory Panel). Tasso+ blood collection was successful in 37/40 attempts. Of 230 proteins included in our analysis, Pearson correlations (r) and mean coefficient of variation (CV) between Tasso-24 or Tas
