Description

Collect, stabilize, process, transport, and archive buccal DNA samples with Whatman Indicating FTA Mini Cards. Whatman FTA technology consists of two distinct chemistries, both of which have the ability to lyse cells on contact, denature proteins, and protect D from degradation. FTA chemistry contains chemical denaturants and a free radical scavenger. With FTA, the D remains tightly bound while proteins and inhibitors are washed from the matrix. There are three options for D analysis with FTA cards: direct amplification, standard amplification with rinsing (punch-in method), and extraction of D from the card.

FTA cards are available as non-indicating cards for use with colored samples, such as blood.

Features:
Improves process efficiency by enabling direct amplification for STR analysis.
Ideal for colored samples, like blood.
Immediate stabilization and protection of nucleic acids due to FTA technology.
Different card options to support manual or automated processing for fast and efficient sampling.
Long term archiving of samples at room temperature due to FTA card technology.

Frequently Asked Questions

The FTA Mini Card is designed for collection, storage, and transport of biological samples, especially for DNA analysis. It allows users to safely collect samples such as blood, plant material, or cells and preserve nucleic acids for later testing without requiring cold storage.

Each card features two separate sample areas, allowing you to either collect duplicate samples or use one spot for testing and the other for storage or backup. This makes it ideal for workflows that require sample archiving or repeat analysis.

“Non-indicating” means the card does not contain a color-changing dye, making it best suited for colored samples like blood where visual confirmation is not needed. Indicating cards, by contrast, are typically used for colorless samples such as saliva.

FTA cards use a chemically treated cellulose matrix that lyses cells on contact, denatures proteins, and protects nucleic acids from degradation. This process stabilizes DNA at room temperature, allowing for safe transport and long-term storage without refrigeration.

Each sample area can hold up to approximately 125 µL of whole blood, with a total capacity of around 250 µL per card. This makes it suitable for small-volume sampling while still providing enough material for multiple downstream analyses.
