FTA Mini Cards, Non-Indicating, 2 Sample Areas Per Card, 25/Pk
Qiagen SKU: WB120355

Qiagen FTA Mini Card, Non-Indicating, 2 Sample Areas Per Card, 25 Pk - WB120355

FTA-treated cellulose denatures proteins and inactivates pathogens on contact while DNA and RNA stay bound to the card. The FTA matrix binds and stabilizes nucleic acid directly on the card and breaks open cells while neutralizing pathogens on application. Where field collection meets the lab bench, FTA cards move stabilized nucleic acid from spot to sequencer without a cold chain.

Key Characteristics

• Binds and stabilizes nucleic acid directly on the card
• 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
• Nucleic acid washes in place and amplifies directly from the punch

Capturing a sample at the point of collection and storing it at ambient temperature keeps your downstream analysis within reach. Room-temperature sample collection fits the way your specimens are gathered and shipped unifying your collection sites and your laboratory on one simple format.

WB120355

• Pathogen-Inactivated Collection - On-card chemistry inactivates pathogens at the moment of spotting, supporting safer field sample transport.
• DNA Methylation Studies - Card-bound genomic DNA supports bisulfite and epigenetic methylation analysis from a single washed sample punch.
• 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.
• Genotyping Workflows - Plant, animal, and human samples feed reliable SNP genotyping assays from punches taken straight off the FTA card.
• STR Profiling - Forensic samples yield reproducible short tandem repeat profiles from Qiagen FTA punches across casework laboratories.
