Tracking diseases in wild animal populations can be challenging because it’s often difficult to collect viable samples in the field. Sterlitech’s Nobuto’s Blood filter strips are made from high-purity cellulose fibers, which gives them a structure suitable for uniform sampling. Each strip holds about 0.1 ml of blood or 0.04 ml of serum. Once the blood strip has dried, researchers can analyze, store or mail the samples without refrigeration. Studies have indicated these collection devices have enabled delayed analysis of samples when tracking Avian Influenza and West Nile Virus in wild birds. Sterlitech Corporation
