Qiagen FTA Classic Card, Non-Indicating, 4 Sample Areas Per Card, 100/Pk - WB120205

FTA cards hold captured DNA and RNA on the card surface at room temperature for more than twenty years of validated storage. Captured nucleic acid stays stable on-card for over 20 years at room temperature while rupturing cells and inactivating pathogens at collection and clears inhibitors through a simple on-card wash. For direct PCR after an in-place wash, the FTA matrix delivers clean, amplification-ready template from a single punch.

Key Characteristics

• Inactivates pathogens for safer sample handling and transport
• Treated cellulose lyses cells and denatures proteins on contact
• Compatible with QIAcard FTA Wash Buffer and TE-1 cleanup
• Validated room-temperature DNA stability for over 20 years
• 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.

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