Indicating FTA Mini Cards, 2 Sample Areas, Pink-to-White, 25/Pk
Qiagen SKU: WB120356

Qiagen FTA Mini Card, Indicating, 2 Sample Areas Per Card, 25 Pk - WB120356

On the FTA card the sample lyses, the matrix binds the nucleic acid, and a single punch carries it straight into amplification. Captured nucleic acid stays stable on-card for over 20 years at room temperature and holds nucleic acid for in-place washing and direct amplification. For direct PCR after an in-place wash, the FTA matrix delivers clean, amplification-ready template from a single punch.

Key Characteristics

• Compatible with QIAcard FTA Wash Buffer and TE-1 cleanup
• 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
• Inactivates pathogens for safer sample handling and transport

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 delivering each specimen prepared for your downstream workflow.

• STR Profiling - Forensic samples yield reproducible short tandem repeat profiles from Qiagen FTA punches across casework laboratories.
• Pathogen-Inactivated Collection - On-card chemistry inactivates pathogens at the moment of spotting, supporting safer field sample transport.
• 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.
• 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.
