Panthera-Puncher 9 . Panthera-Puncher 9 is a sample transfer instrument for professional use. The sample, a dried blood disk, is extracted from a larger area of the sample (dried blood spot) by punching the disk of the specified size to a sample collection vessel, e.g. a 96-well microtiter plate. The identification of the sample punched to a specific well of the plate is stored and carried on to the next instrument or the data is transferred to the LIMS.
