Qiagen
FTA Classic Card, Non-Indicating, 4 Sample Areas Per Card, 25 Pk SKU: WB120305

Collect, stabilize, process, transport, and archive buccal DNA samples with Qiagen Indicating FTA Classic Cards. Qiagen FTA technology consists of two distinct chemistries, both of which have the ability to lyse cells on contact, denature proteins, and protect D from degradation. FTA chemistry contains chemical denaturants and a free radical scavenger. With FTA, the D remains tightly bound while proteins and inhibitors are washed from the matrix. There are three options for D analysis with FTA cards: direct amplification, standard amplification with rinsing (punch-in method), and extraction of D from the card.

FTA cards are available as non-indicating cards for use with colored samples, such as blood.

Features:

• Improves process efficiency by enabling direct amplification for STR analysis.
• Ideal for colored samples, like blood.
• Immediate stabilization and protection of nucleic acids due to FTA technology.
• Different card options to support manual or automated processing for fast and efficient sampling.
• Long term archiving of samples at room temperature due to FTA card technology.

Common Applications:

• Forensics
• Transgenic identification
• Transfusion medicine/HLA typing
• Plasmid screening
• Food and agriculture testing
• Drug discovery
• Genomics
• STR analysis
• Animal identification
• Whole genome amplification
