Qiagen QIAcard FTA Child ID Kit, 50/Pk - WB129380

Qiagen FTA cards carry chemistry that lyses cells and binds nucleic acid the moment a sample touches the cellulose. On-card nucleic acid clears inhibitors through a simple wash before amplification while binding and stabilizing nucleic acid directly on the card and lyses cells on contact while denaturing proteins. Where field collection meets the lab bench, FTA cards move stabilized nucleic acid from spot to sequencer without a cold chain.

Key Characteristics

• Validated room-temperature DNA stability for over 20 years
• Compatible with QIAcard FTA Wash Buffer and TE-1 cleanup
• Treated cellulose lyses cells and denatures proteins on contact
• Nucleic acid washes in place and amplifies directly from the punch
• Binds and stabilizes nucleic acid directly on the card

Room-temperature collection lets your samples travel from the field to the lab without freezers or dry ice. Room-temperature sample collection fits the way your specimens are gathered and shipped unifying your collection sites and your laboratory on one simple format.

• Pathogen-Inactivated Collection - On-card chemistry inactivates pathogens at the moment of spotting, supporting safer field sample transport.
• DNA Methylation Studies - Card-bound genomic DNA supports bisulfite and epigenetic methylation analysis from a single washed sample punch.
• Genotyping Workflows - Plant, animal, and human samples feed reliable SNP genotyping assays from punches taken straight off the FTA card.
• Direct PCR Amplification - Bound DNA on the FTA matrix amplifies directly from a washed punch, removing a separate extraction step.
• Room-Temperature Archiving - Lysed cells release DNA that stays stable on the card for 20-plus years at ambient laboratory storage.
• STR Profiling - Forensic samples yield reproducible short tandem repeat profiles from Qiagen FTA punches across casework laboratories.
