Harpera® | Skin Microbiopsy
A suture-free, and virtually painless option for Scarless Skin Biopsies.
The Harpera is a minimally invasive microbiopsy tool that enables researchers to provide nearly painless, scarless and suture-free skin sample and tissue collection.
The Harpera™ Microbiopsy™ Punch exemplifies innovation in dermatological research, offering a minimally invasive, ethical, and precise alternative to traditional biopsies. Its ability to support longitudinal studies, enhance patient compliance, and align with personalized medicine makes it a cornerstone for advancing dermatology.
The Harpera™ Microbiopsy™ Punch is a manual surgical device intended to enable the collection of a specimen from the cutaneous skin surface by a healthcare professional. FDA-registered for marketing in the US, Harpera is made available as an investigational use only (IUO) product for use in performance studies outside of the US.

The advantages of Microsampling
Reliable
Quantitative sampling with pipette-like precision. VAMS eliminates traditional blood hematocrit biases and results in extremely low in-lab sample rejection rates. No glue used in assembly, no matrix interferences.
Versatile
Collect biological fluids (blood, plasma, urine, saliva, and even tears) efficiently from humans and animals (e.g., finger, arm, knee, tail, etc.) or containers. Manual to fully automated workflows are available.
User-Friendly
99% sample acceptance rate validated by studies. VAMS tip acts as a fill indicator to confirm successful sampling. Outer housing protects against contamination and facilitates easy remote or home sampling.
Cost-Effective
Eliminate phlebotomy, couriers, and cold-chain shipping/storage requirements. Devices are compatible with standard automated liquid handling systems and available in various formates to suit different budgets.

Other Microsampling Products
Specimen Bag
The Specimen Bag Mitra format is perfect for those looking to create their own collection kits for remote sampling or maintain bulk devices for centralized sampling in clinical or field settings.
Each Specimen Bag is sealed and includes a barcoded Mitra device with a unique identifier and desiccant. After collection, the device is placed back into the Specimen Bag to facilitate quick drying and protect the sample from external contamination.
Microsample Collection Kit
The Microsample Collection Kit Mitra format streamlines the blood microsampling process, enabling both assisted and self-collection at home or in the field. Each kit is equipped with device, barcoding for secure chain of custody, easy-to-follow instructions, all necessary finger-prick sampling supplies, and a return-mailing envelope, all packaged for global distribution. Ideal for remote blood collection, these kits ensure that samples can be directly sent to accredited labs for precise analysis.
96-Autorack
The 96-Autoracktm format is designed for laboratories to efficiently batch and process Mitra microsamples using a standard 96-well format. Compatible with most 1mL & 2mL collection plates and 960channel pipettors & liquid handling workstations, the 96-Autorack enhances lab productivity and intergration.
We provice two options: an empty 96-Autorack, perfect for accessioning microsamples from Mitra devices received from the field for building plates, extractions, and long-term storage; and prefilled 96-Autoracks with 96 Mitra samplers, ideal for method development and handling calibrators and QCs.
Storage Solution
The Mitra Device Storage Solution is designed for laboratories to efficiently store for long term sampled Mitra devices in a deep freezer. Comptabile to fit one 96-Autorack or several Mitra devices, the Mitra Device Storage Solution contant desiccant to keep your samples dry, while the zip closure prevents moisture from entering the bag. A lable of the outside of the bag enables samples to be eaily marked and identified.
Harpera TM Microbiopsy TM Punch (IUO)
The Harpera TM skin microsampling research tool may enable minimally invasive collection & storage of skin cells. It is under development & supplied for investigational use only (IUO).
In future, it may be available as a microbiopsy medical device for therapeutic or diagnostic use.
