Finger-stick blood was collected using the Mitra collection kit (Neoteryx 100504-A) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, a spring-loaded lancet provided with the kit was used to draw blood from a fingertip. Blood was collected onto two swabs, each capable of absorbing 10 µL of blood. The blood dried rapidly on the swabs, which were enclosed in a cartridge and sealed in a bag containing a desiccant. Donors submitted the samples to MSD via drop box.
