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

A spot of blood, buccal cells, or tissue lysate dries onto the FTA matrix, where the nucleic acid stays fixed in place. Captured nucleic acid stays stable on-card for over 20 years at room temperature and lyses cells on contact while denaturing proteins. Where archived samples must amplify years later, room-temperature FTA storage keeps the DNA viable across decades.

Key Characteristics

• Compatible with QIAcard FTA Wash Buffer and TE-1 cleanup
• Treated cellulose lyses cells and denatures proteins on contact
• Nucleic acid washes in place and amplifies directly from the punch
• Inactivates pathogens for safer sample handling and transport
• 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.
• 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.
• Direct PCR Amplification - Bound DNA on the FTA matrix amplifies directly from a washed punch, removing a separate extraction step.
• 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.
