Symposium Session 1
Wednesday, February 7
9:45 am - 11:15 am

Many lessons have been learnt from the extensive work conducted on dry blood spots, which has been one of the catalysts to the more recent advances in home sampling. From just one possible home sampling technology, a new breed of techniques has emerged, with manufacturers racing to find a solution. This presentation sets out to explore the many options that are available today and also explore future possibilities, not only for home sampling but also the holy grail of home measurement. Imagine removing the need to take a blood sample combined with real time measurement. Is this reality for tomorrow, in a year, 10 years or just a dream?
