	Patented FTA® Cards provide a safe, secure and reliable method for the collection, transport, and safe room temperature storage of DNA.
	When cells are applied to FTA Cards, the cells are lysed and the nucleic acids are immobilized and stabilized within the FTA Card's matrix.
	Genomic DNA stored on FTA Cards at room temperature for over 11 years exhibits no loss in PCR efficiency (proven).  Expected storage length is over 50 years.
	FTA® is a chemical treatment, which allows for the rapid isolation of pure DNA. When samples are applied to FTA®-treated paper, cell lysis occurs and high molecular weight DNA is immobilized within the matrix. Amplification or restriction enzyme digestion can be performed directly on the treated paper without the need for extensive extraction procedures. Features of the FTA Card:   Rapid isolation of pure DNA Designed to kill pathogens and prevent future colonization by bacteria or fungi Protects DNA from microbial and environmental degradation Archive samples at room temperature Reduces potential for cross-contamination between samples Eliminates shearing forces associated with conventional extraction methods
	FTA Cards rapidly inactivate organisms including blood borne pathogens and prevent the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms.
	Samples collected on FTA Cards are so safe they can be shipped via regular US Postal Service without hazardous labeling.
	Simply apply the sample to the FTA Card and store long-term or send to DNA Testing Centre, Inc for analysis.  The FTA Card can be used for the following samples: Buccal Cells Blood Cultured Cells Solid Tissue ...and more
