Abstract:
A punching apparatus () and method for delivering disk samples () from media containing a dried bio-sample into a receptacle for use in an assay. In one aspect, the shape of the disk is altered, such as by folding, so that a disk of larger cross sectional size may fit into a receptacle having a cross sectional size less than the disk punched from the media.
