Why Sample Volume Matters in Remote Diagnostics and How RedDrop Leads the Category

One of the most overlooked factors in remote blood collection is sample volume. While many devices focus on convenience, they do not provide enough blood for modern testing panels. This is where RedDrop stands out compared to Tasso+ and Tasso M20 and the YourBio TAP II.

1. Remote Diagnostics Are Becoming More Complex

Patients and partners want more than a single marker. They want:

  • Hormone panels

  • Lipid panels

  • Inflammation markers

  • GLP 1 monitoring

  • Chronic disease tracking

  • Multi analyte tests

These require more blood than many first generation capillary devices can provide.

2. Device Volume Comparison

Here is how typical devices compare on volume:

  • Tasso+ and Tasso M20: Lower volume output

  • YourBio TAP II: Limited by microneedle format

  • RedDrop: Up to 1 milliliter of usable blood

RedDrop provides more volume than both competitors, which allows labs to run more tests without requesting a new sample.  Learn more from independent study by LabCorp. 

3. Larger Volume Reduces Redraws

Every redraw triggers:

  • Frustrated customers

  • Delayed results

  • Extra logistics and shipping

  • Lost trust in the program

With RedDrop, partners report fewer redraws and higher first time success rates.

4. More Volume Supports Automation

High throughput labs depend on automated systems that require certain sample thresholds for reliable processing. RedDrop meets these requirements by generating enough blood for:

  • Direct to tube workflows

  • Automated decapping

  • Robotic sample handling

Lower volume devices force manual workarounds that slow the lab down.

5. More Volume Creates More Revenue Opportunities

When partners can run more tests:

  • They increase revenue per kit

  • They unlock new panels

  • They retain customers longer

  • They reduce churn

RedDrop enables this by providing the volume required for advanced diagnostics and wellness programs.

Conclusion

Sample volume is the foundation of reliable remote diagnostics. RedDrop leads the category by offering more usable blood, greater flexibility for labs, and stronger performance than Tasso+ and Tasso M20 and the YourBio TAP II.

More volume. More tests. More certainty.
