Qiagen FTA Classic Card, Indicating, 4 Sample Areas Per Card, 100/Pk - WB120206

Qiagen FTA cards carry chemistry that lyses cells and binds nucleic acid the moment a sample touches the cellulose. The FTA matrix holds nucleic acid for in-place washing and direct amplification while preserving captured nucleic acid for over 20 years at room temperature 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

• Inactivates pathogens for safer sample handling and transport
• Binds and stabilizes nucleic acid directly on the card
• Treated cellulose lyses cells and denatures proteins on contact
• Nucleic acid washes in place and amplifies directly from the punch
• Validated room-temperature DNA stability for over 20 years

Capturing a sample at the point of collection and storing it at ambient temperature keeps your downstream analysis within reach. Ambient-temperature storage keeps your collected samples ready for the bench from field collection through transit and shelf storage.

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