Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for storing and/or transporting bodily fluid samples are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a device for storing and/or transporting a sample of bodily fluid is configured to receive a collection cartridge including a housing and a sample tray removably coupled to the housing. The device can include a base and a cover pivotally coupled to the base. The cover is movable relative to the base between.an open position in which the jig portion is accessible and a closed position in which the jig portion is inaccessible. The base can include a jig portion configured to (a) receive the collection cartridge and (b) decouple the sample tray from a housing of the collection cartridge.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses for collecting a high volume of bodily fluid using a handheld bodily fluid collection device are disclosed. A handheld bodily fluid collection device includes a housing having an opening, a skin-piercing assembly positioned at least partially within the housing, and an actuator coupled to the skin-piercing assembly. The actuator can be actuated to cause a blade of the skin-piercing assembly to form an incision in the skin of a patient. In some embodiments, a vacuum mechanism configured to dynamically generate a vacuum is applied to the patient's skin to facilitate collection of the bodily fluid. The handheld bodily fluid collection device includes a surface that contacts the skin of the subject and is shaped to define an accommodating space into which a portion of the subject's skin is drawn (e.g., via vacuum pressure).
