Validation for TFV-DP and FTC-TP in erythrocytes using dried blood spots (DBS).
Precise extraction demonstrated using replicate clinical samples.
Analyte stability over 1 year at −20 °C to −80 °C and up to 5 days at ambient.
Measurement not impacted by punch location, spot volumes, and hematocrit range tested.
The method has been implemented as a biomarker of adherence to TDF-FTC therapy
