QIAGEN® (formerly Cytiva's Whatman™) FTA™ Cards for DNA Analysis & Clone Archiving

Capture nucleic acids in one easy step with QIAGEN® FTA™ Cards. Simply apply your sample to the QIAGEN® FTA™ Card. Cell membranes and organelles are lysed and the released nucleic acids are entrapped in the fibers of the matrix. The nucleic acids remain immobilized and are preserved for transport, immediate processing or long-term room temperature storage. Since captured nucleic acids are preserved, FTA™ Cards facilitate sample collection in remote locations and simplify sample transport. For example, you can collect samples in the field without worrying about immediate refrigeration. Ship your samples back to the laboratory without expensive special handling or dry ice and process at your convenience. Indicating FTA Cards are recommended for colorless samples. These FTA™ Cards change from pink to white when sample is applied, verifying the location of the sample. QIAGEN® FTA™ Cards can be used with virtually any sample type including: Blood, Cultured Cells, Buccal Cells, Plasmids and Solid Tissues.

• FTA Classic Card Four sample areas for application of up to 500µL whole blood or 100µL plant homogenate per card. Convenient for multiple applications of the same specimen or collection of multiple animal or plant samples on one card. Different samples can be processed independently. Indicating>FTA Classic Card Same as FTA Classic Card with a color indicator that changes from pink to white when sample is applied. Recommended for use with colorless samples such as buccal or cultured cells.

• FTA Mini Card Two sample areas for application of up to 250µL whole blood or 50µL plant homogenate per card. Convenient for protocols that require different locations for testing and archiving samples. Different samples can be processed independently. Indicating FTA Mini Card Same as FTA Mini Card with a color indicator that changes from pink to white when sample is applied. Recommended for use with clear samples such as buccal or cultured cells.

• FTA Micro Card One sample area for application of up to 125µL whole blood or 25µL plant homogenate per card. Recommended when only one sample is needed.

• Indicating FTA Micro CardSame as FTA Micro Card with a color indicator that changes from pink to white when sample is applied. Recommended for use with clear samples such as buccal or cultured cells.

• FTA Gene CardAn FTA Card enclosed in a rigid card frame. Three sample areas for application of up to 225µL whole blood or 30µL plant homogenate per card. Can be utilized in many automatic dispensing/pipetting systems when used with the FTA Gene Card Tray (catalog number WB100030).

• FTA KitIncludes: 25 FTA Micro Cards, 2 x 25mL FTA Purification Reagent, 2 x Harris Uni-Core Punch with cutting mat, instructions.
