For labs

A remote-collection channel, without touching your LIS.

Add at-home blood collection on your rails. We run the kit, the logistics, and the patient app — you keep accessioning, testing, and reporting.

Why labs partner with us

Extend your reach without rebuilding your stack

Direct-to-patient collection is a new channel, not a new platform. Variscreen handles everything outside your four walls and hands you clean samples and structured data.

Kit & requisition operations

Kit fulfillment, requisition handling, and collection guidance managed end to end.

Quantitative collection

The Capitainer device meters a precise, defined blood volume — no phlebotomist required.

Results on your rails

Structured results delivered over REST API, SFTP, or HL7/FHIR — however your LIS expects them.

We own the logistics

Inventory, fulfillment, and prepaid return mailers handled — nothing for you to ship.

You keep the lab work

Accessioning, testing, and reporting stay entirely with you. We never touch your LIS.

Compliant by default

HIPAA-ready chain of custody, tracked end to end from kitchen table to bench.

The patient experience

Collection, handled for you

Your patients get a five-minute experience at home. You get a tracked sample and clean data.

Kit ships to the patient

With everything inside and a prepaid return mailer.

Five-minute collection

A gentle finger-prick, sealed in the mailer, dropped in any mailbox.

Sample routed to you

Tracked end to end; the result lands on your rails the moment it's ready.

Integration architecture

Results on your rails, end to end

Variscreen sits entirely outside your four walls. The collected sample is routed to you, and structured results flow back into the interfaces you already run — in the format your LIS expects.

  1. Step 1 · Variscreen

    Patient collects at home

    A branded Capitainer kit and a five-minute finger-prick, sealed in a prepaid mailer.

  2. Step 2 · Variscreen

    Variscreen routes the sample

    Tracked logistics and a HIPAA chain of custody carry the kit from the kitchen table to your bench.

  3. Step 3 · Your lab

    Your lab accessions & tests

    Accessioning, testing, and reporting stay entirely with your team, on the systems you already run.

  4. Step 4 · Shared

    Results delivered on your rails

    Structured payloads pushed back over REST API, SFTP, or HL7/FHIR into your existing interfaces.

REST API

Real-time, typed payloads with a documented OpenAPI 3.1 contract.

SFTP

Batched result files dropped on the cadence you set.

HL7 / FHIR

Standards-based messaging straight into your LIS and downstream systems.

You keep your LIS. Variscreen never sits in your reporting path.

Sample quality

Validated finger-prick collection

The Capitainer device is a quantitative volumetric microsampling device: it meters and stores a precise, defined blood volume — so a remote, self-collected sample arrives consistent and ready for your assays, no phlebotomist required.

Capitainer collection specifications
SpecificationWhat you getWhy it matters
Collection methodQuantitative volumetric microsamplingMeters and stores an exact volume in a protected pre-cut disc.
Volume per sampleFixed, metered (10–50 µL)Volume-defined collection removes the variability of free-flow drops.
Method validationDocumentation & sample data providedWe supply validation documentation and sample data to support your lab's own method validation across biomarker classes.
Sample stabilityAmbient — no cold chainDried capillary samples ship by regular mail and stay stable in transit.
First-time successHigh, with a built-in indicatorAn integrated fill indicator confirms an adequate sample at collection.
Biomarker breadth100+ across standard & custom panelsMetabolic, lipid, hormone, inflammation, and more from one kit.

Volume-defined, not free-flow

An exact metered volume every time removes a major source of pre-analytic variability.

Adequacy confirmed at collection

The integrated fill indicator means fewer quantity-not-sufficient rejections at your bench.

Validation pack included

We hand you the documentation and sample data to support your own method validation.

Built for volume

Scale the channel, not the headcount

Remote collection adds capacity without adding draw sites or phlebotomists. The program flexes from a pilot cohort to national volume on the same data pipe.

API & tooling

Built for your engineering team

A typed, documented API your interface team can build against on day one — no bespoke reverse-engineering, no surprise payload changes.

OpenAPI 3.1 spec

A live, versioned contract you can generate clients from.

Result webhooks

Push notifications the moment a result is ready, with signed payloads.

Sandbox & test data

A full sandbox with synthetic results to validate your interface end to end.

Scoped API keys

Per-environment keys with least-privilege scopes and rotation.

Example result payload (REST API)
On your rails

Structured results, your way

No new dashboards to learn. Results flow into the interfaces you already run, in the format your LIS expects.

REST API

Real-time, typed result payloads with a documented OpenAPI contract.

SFTP delivery

Batched result files dropped on the schedule you set.

HL7 / FHIR

Standards-based interfaces straight into your LIS and downstream systems.

Chain of custody

Every sample tracked and auditable from collection to accessioning.

What happens next

No. We never touch your LIS. We deliver structured results into the interfaces you already run — REST API, SFTP, or HL7/FHIR.

You do. Variscreen handles the kit, collection, logistics, and patient app; accessioning, testing, and reporting stay entirely with your lab.

The Capitainer device is a quantitative volumetric microsampling device that meters an exact, defined blood volume. We provide validation documentation and sample data so your lab can run its own method validation for each assay.

Yes. Kits, requisitions, ordering codes, and patient guidance are configured around your panels and operating flow. Runtime branding is parked for now.

Real-time REST API, batched SFTP files, and HL7/FHIR messaging. We map to the format and cadence your systems expect.

Capitainer dried capillary samples are stable at ambient temperature for shipping, so kits travel by regular mail with no cold chain. Every kit ships with a prepaid, tracked return mailer.

100+ biomarkers across standard and custom panels — metabolic, lipid, hormone, inflammation, and more. We scope your menu against the sample volume during onboarding and flag any assay that still needs a venous draw.

Most labs are live in weeks, not quarters. A named integration engineer wires up your API, SFTP, or HL7/FHIR delivery and runs a pilot cohort before you scale — see the 30-day timeline above.

Variscreen provides the physician-oversight network that authorizes the order and reviews flagged results, so the requisition is covered without adding load to your team.

A HIPAA-compliant platform on SOC 2 Type II infrastructure, with CLIA/CAP-validated collection, end-to-end chain of custody, encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, and audit logging.
