The use of dried whole blood spot samples provides medical anthropological researchers-especially those working in remote, isolated communities-with several advantages over traditional methods. Anthropological research utilizing venous-drawn blood samples can create challenges in terms of phlebotomy training, personnel needs, storage and transportation requirements, and participant discomfort. Alternatively, research utilizing dried blood spot samples, via finger stick collection techniques, eliminates or reduces these problems greatly. While the use of dried blood spots is often the best sampling option for anthropologists or other population-level researchers, the method does have some limitations. Nevertheless, as the number of dried blood spot analyte protocols continues to increase, the logistical and participant advantages of dried blood spot methods assure their increased utility in biomedical anthropological research in the future.
使用干血斑样本为医学人类学研究人员——尤其是那些在偏远、孤立社区工作的研究人员——带来了优于传统方法的诸多优势。利用静脉采血样本进行的人类学研究在静脉穿刺培训、人员需求、储存和运输要求以及参与者不适方面可能会带来挑战。相比之下，通过手指采血技术使用干血斑样本进行的研究极大地消除或减少了这些问题。虽然对于人类学家或其他群体层面的研究人员来说，使用干血斑样本通常是最佳的采样选择，但该方法确实存在一些局限性。然而，随着干血斑分析物检测方案的数量不断增加，干血斑方法在后勤和参与者方面的优势确保了其在未来生物医学人类学研究中的应用将不断增加。
