Qiagen EasiCollect Devices w/ 2 in. x 2 in. FTA Cards, 50 Pk - WB120462

On the FTA card the sample lyses, the matrix binds the nucleic acid, and a single punch carries it straight into amplification. Retained nucleic acid washes in place and amplifies directly from the punch 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

• Treated cellulose lyses cells and denatures proteins on contact
• Compatible with QIAcard FTA Wash Buffer and TE-1 cleanup
• Validated room-temperature DNA stability for over 20 years
• Binds and stabilizes nucleic acid directly on the card
• Inactivates pathogens for safer sample handling and transport

Room-temperature collection lets your samples travel from the field to the lab without freezers or dry ice. Ambient-temperature storage keeps your collected samples ready for the bench across the handling and shipping steps your study depends on.

• 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.
• 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.
