Optimizing detection of erythropoietin receptor agonists from dried blood spots for anti-doping application

Carmel E. Heiland et al.

Summary: This study investigated the use of dried blood spots (DBS) as a matrix for doping control and found optimal conditions for detecting prohibited erythropoietin receptor agonists (ERAs) and endogenous erythropoietin (EPO) from DBS. The results showed that 60 μl DBS could detect the main ERAs at concentrations close to the minimum required performance levels (MRPLs) set by WADA for serum/plasma samples. Storage temperature did not affect ERA detection. Compared with urine, DBS showed less variation in the detection of endogenous EPO.
