The HemoLink is an-at home device for self-collection of blood samples. The HemoLink collects enough blood for a broad range of diagnostic applications. Using no needles for skin pricking, the product is simply placed onto the skin of the arm or abdomen for two minutes. HemoLink is designed as a low-cost, disposable device made from as few as six injection-molded plastic parts.
Inside of the device is a vacuum, which enables a small sample of blood to be drawn from tiny open channels into a small tube through a process known as capillary action. This process is made possible by forces that dictate the flow of tiny fluid streams, even against gravity. The device can draw around 0.15 cubic centimeters of blood, which is enough to test for things like cholesterol, infections, cancer cells and blood sugar, before being mailed off to a lab for analysis.
