MitrAlanine: Evaluation of Capillary Blood Collection Devices (Mitra® and HemaPEN®)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim is to demonstrate a new application for a blood collection device. This device is already widely used in pharmacology. It is not currently used for metabolic diseases.
Its ease of use enables repeated sampling at home. What's more, the device can be sent by post, making it ideally suited to the needs of this cohort of children, whose phenylalanine levels need to be monitored very regularly.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Comparison of phenylalanine concentrations [Day 1]
Comparison of phenylalanine concentrations in the new device with those in the current device (blotter).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Ease of use of research device [Day 1]
ease of use of DM-DIV MITRA® and DM-DIV HemaPEN® via a 3 questions-and-answer guide for samplers
- sample conformity [Day 1]
Conformity of blood sample on DM-DIV MITRA® and DM-DIV HemaPEN® versus DM-DIV Perkin Elmer
- comparison of concentrations of tyrosin [Day 1]
comparison of concentrations of other amino acids (tyrosin) dosed at the same time as phenylalanine
- comparison of concentrations of total leucin [Day 1]
comparison of concentrations of other amino acids (total leucin) dosed at the same time as phenylalanine
- comparison of concentrations of methionin [Day 1]
comparison of concentrations of other amino acids (methionin) dosed at the same time as phenylalanine
