FTA Micro Card, Non-Indicating, Cellulose Matrix, 1 Sample Area Per Card, 100/Pk
Qiagen SKU: WB120210

Qiagen FTA Micro Card, Non-Indicating, 1 Sample Area Per Card, 100/Pk - WB120210

On the FTA card the sample lyses, the matrix binds the nucleic acid, and a single punch carries it straight into amplification. On-card nucleic acid clears inhibitors through a simple wash before amplification while preserving captured nucleic acid for over 20 years at room temperature and lyses cells on contact while denaturing proteins. When a genotyping run needs nucleic acid ready on demand, the punched FTA disc carries bound DNA straight into amplification.

Key Characteristics

• Nucleic acid washes in place and amplifies directly from the punch
• Compatible with QIAcard FTA Wash Buffer and TE-1 cleanup
• Validated room-temperature DNA stability for over 20 years
• Inactivates pathogens for safer sample handling and transport
• Binds and stabilizes nucleic acid directly on the card

Collecting a biological sample that survives handling and ships without a cold chain keeps your study on schedule. Room-temperature sample collection fits the way your specimens are gathered and shipped without the freezers, dry ice, or cold-chain logistics other formats demand.

WB120210

• Pathogen-Inactivated Collection - On-card chemistry inactivates pathogens at the moment of spotting, supporting safer field sample transport.
• 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.
• Genotyping Workflows - Plant, animal, and human samples feed reliable SNP genotyping assays from punches taken straight off the FTA card.
• 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.
