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 indicating cards for use with clear samples, such as buccal cells or saliva. The cards include a pink indicating dye that turns to white when a clear sample is applied.

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

This FTA Mini Card is designed for the collection, stabilization, transport, and long-term storage of nucleic acid samples such as blood, buccal cells, or saliva. FTA chemistry lyses cells on contact and preserves DNA in the matrix for later analysis.

The indicating version contains a pink dye that turns white when a colorless sample is applied, giving immediate visual confirmation that the specimen has been properly deposited on the card.

Each mini card includes two sample areas, each capable of holding up to 125 µL per spot (250 µL total per card), making it suitable for small-volume biological samples.

FTA technology allows room-temperature storage, pathogen inactivation, and simplified transport without freezers or dry ice, helping laboratories reduce shipping costs while maintaining DNA integrity for downstream testing.

These cards are widely used in forensics, genomics, STR analysis, animal identification, food and agriculture testing, and molecular biology workflows where reliable DNA collection and archiving are required.
