Capillary panel

In one sentence

A capillary panel is a set of blood values chosen so that a laboratory can measure all of them from a small capillary sample, such as a sample collected on the upper arm.

A panel is a group of blood values ordered together, and a capillary panel is a group that the laboratory can measure from capillary blood. Capillary blood comes from the small vessels under the skin, so a sample holds far less blood than a tube from a vein.

That smaller amount is the reason a capillary panel is planned value by value. Each value uses part of the sample, and some values are only measured from a vein, so the panel has to fit both the blood available and the laboratory's list.

Aniva's capillary catalogue lists more than 40 values that the partner laboratory measures from a Tasso+ sample, including hormones, blood fats, thyroid values, iron stores and vitamin D. A business picks the values it needs and saves them as its own panel, and a larger panel can mean a second device in the kit.

In this glossary, Panel explains panels in general and Kapillarblut explains the sample type, while the page on Tasso+ blood collection shows how Aniva supplies it.
