Featuring seven laminated barrier layers, these multi-barrier pouches maintain sample integrity and security during the archiving and transport of EasiCollect Plus Cards and other smaller FTA cards. Each medium-size pouch measures 4 in x 4.5 in (10.1 cm x 11.4 cm) and protects the enclosed card from exposure to gas or liquid contamination. The outer paper surface accepts labeling and handwriting for straightforward sample identification, and pouches ship 100 per pack.
Key Pouch Characteristics
- Seven layers of lamination guard the card against gas and liquid contamination.
- Tamper-evident seal maintains sample security throughout storage and transport.
- Outer paper surface supports labeling or writing for clear sample tracking.
- Sized at 4 in x 4.5 in (10.1 cm x 11.4 cm) to accommodate EasiCollect Plus Cards and other smaller FTA cards.
- Shares the same multi-layer construction as the larger multi-barrier pouches in a compact format.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Multi-layer laminated barrier construction with an outer paper writing surface.
- Tamper-evident sealing format for secure archiving.
- Supplied 100 pouches per pack.
To optimize sample integrity, FTA cards are typically stored inside a multi-barrier pouch together with a desiccant packet. The laminated barrier and tamper-evident seal work together to preserve nucleic acid samples during long-term storage and shipment, helping ensure that collected material reaches the laboratory intact.
