Whatman WB120204 FTA Purification Reagent 500 ml

This reagent is designed for purifying nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) captured and stored on FTA cards. It is commonly used in molecular biology workflows, including sample preparation for PCR and genetic analysis.

The reagent is typically used to wash punched samples from FTA cards during the “punch-in” method. This step helps prepare DNA for downstream applications such as STR amplification and PCR testing.

It is compatible with Whatman FTA cards, indicating FTA cards, and EasiCollect devices, making it suitable for processing biological samples such as blood or tissue stored on these media.

The proprietary formulation helps remove PCR inhibitors (such as heme and contaminants), resulting in high-quality DNA and improved amplification performance in molecular assays.

The product is supplied in a 500 mL bottle, providing enough volume for a high number of sample preparations, making it suitable for laboratories handling frequent or high-throughput DNA purification workflows.
