General description

QIAcard™ FTA™ Classic (25) is a non-indicating three sample regions framed card utilized for the transportation, preservation, and collection of blood, cells, and tissue that are pigmented biological material.

Application

QIAcard™ FTA™ Classic (25) has been used for:
  • molecular biology and amplifying the whole genome
  • identification of animals, insects, and transgenics
  • genomics and plasmid screening
  • medical transfusions and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing
  • drug development and short tandem repeat (STR) analysis
  • testing food and agriculture
Use FTA card technology for a wide range of applications:
  • Transgenic identification
  • Transfusion medicine
  • Plasmid screening
  • Food and agriculture testing
  • Drug discovery
  • Genomics
  • STR analysis
  • Animal identification
  • Whole genome amplification
  • Molecular biology

Features and Benefits

  • Consists of a free radical scavenger and chemical denaturants
  • Long-term sample storage at ambient temperature
  • Immediate DNA capture improves process efficiency for short tandem repeat (STR) analysis by allowing direct amplification
  • Contained in stiff card frame allowing the use of automated pipetting/dispensing and punching devices
  • Takes less than 30 minutes to capture nucleic acid for downstream applications
  • While proteins and inhibitors are removed from the matrix, DNA stays attached to flinders technology associates (FTA), at ambient temperature for years, minimizing laboratory freezers requirement.
  • Proteins, however, remain strongly linked to flinders technology associates (FTA) elute during the matrix′s elution of DNA

Other Notes

Sample integrity is optimized when FTA™ Cards are stored in a Multi-Barrier Pouch with a Desiccant Packet.
Field of Use : For internal research use only
