BACKGROUND: Capillary microsampling (CMS) of 8 µl of blood provides a methodology that can be utilized for serial sampling in drug discovery mouse PK studies. RESULTS: Blood CMS sample results were compared to plasma sample results for three compounds (with expected Cb/Cp of 1 to 2) and found to be similar. In addition, for three compounds, blood CMS results were found to be equivalent to results generated with standard whole blood sampling. In a 5-day repeated dose PK study, four mice were dosed (IV) daily and sampled on both day one and day five using blood CMS procedure. CONCLUSION: Blood CMS using 8 µl glass capillary microsamples provides a straightforward and effective approach for mouse serial blood sampling.
