Quantitative metabolomics comparison of traditional blood draws and TAP capillary blood collection

ConclusionThough further more extensive studies will be mandatory, this pilot suggests that TAP-derived blood may be a logistically-friendly source of blood for large scale metabolomics studies —especially those addressing amino acids, glycemia and lactatemia as well as bile acids, acyl-carnitine levels.
