FTA Purification Reagent, 500 mL
Qiagen SKU: WB120204

Featuring proprietary chemistry that facilitates DNA release from the FTA matrix, this purification reagent is used for purifying nucleic acids captured and stored on FTA cards. It is recommended for use with QIAcard FTA and Indicating FTA Card formats, as well as EasiCollect formats, and can be used to wash punches in the "punch-in" procedure for standard STR amplification. The 500 mL bottle supports an increased number of reactions, making it well suited to higher-throughput forensic and genomic workflows.

Key Reagent Characteristics

• Purifies nucleic acids captured and stored on FTA cards by facilitating DNA release from the FTA matrix.
• Removes heme, PCR inhibitors, and other contaminants that can lower PCR yields.
• Proprietary chemistry helps ensure high-quality DNA for STR analysis.
• Supports the "punch-in" procedure, allowing punches to be washed in place prior to standard STR amplification.
• Compatible with QIAcard FTA, Indicating FTA Card, and EasiCollect formats.

Key Product Characteristics

• Supplied as a 500 mL bottle for an increased number of reactions.
• Recommended for forensic, human ID, and nucleic acid sample preparation workflows.
• Ships as a single bottle per pack.

This reagent delivers reliable removal of contaminants and inhibitors so that DNA recovered from FTA matrices is well suited for downstream amplification. By washing punches directly in the "punch-in" workflow, it helps maintain sample integrity and supports consistent, high-quality STR results.
