ABOUT FTA CARDS

bullet

Patented FTAŽ Cards provide a safe, secure and reliable method for the collection, transport, and safe room temperature storage of DNA.

bullet

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.

bullet

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.

bulletFTAŽ is a chemical treatment, which allows for the rapid isolation of pure DNA. When samples are applied to FTAŽ-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:
