Understanding Dried Blood Spot (DBS) Testing
Dried Blood Spot (DBS) technology offers a convenient and less invasive alternative to traditional venipuncture. Our DBS method for testosterone testing has been validated to correlate well with venous blood samples, providing accurate and reliable results from a simple finger-prick.
This method allows for easy at-home sample collection while maintaining high standards of analytical precision in our CLIA-certified laboratories.
Biomarkers included
- Testosterone Total: Testosterone Total (Female) measures the total amount of testosterone in a woman's blood, including both free and protein-bound forms. While often associated with males, testosterone is an important hormone in females, playing roles in bone health, libido, energy levels, and mood. Abnormal levels in women can indicate conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or adrenal tumors.
How to prepare
For optimal accuracy, collect your sample in the morning (7:00 AM - 10:00 AM) after an overnight fast (8-12 hours of no food or sugary drinks). Water is permitted. Avoid biotin supplements for 24-72 hours prior to collection.
