Description

Collect, stabilize, process, transport, and archive buccal DNA samples with Whatman Indicating FTA Classic 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.
Common Applications:
Forensics
Transgenic identification
Transfusion medicine/HLA typing
Plasmid screening
Food and agriculture testing
Drug discovery
Genomics
STR analysis
Animal identification
Whole genome amplification
Molecular biology

Frequently Asked Questions

This FTA Classic Card is designed for the collection, stabilization, transport, and long-term storage of nucleic acid samples such as blood or buccal cells. The treated matrix lyses cells on contact and preserves DNA for downstream molecular analysis.

Non-indicating cards do not change color when a sample is applied. They are typically preferred for colored specimens—such as whole blood—where a color indicator could interfere with visual interpretation.

Each card contains four sample areas, with a maximum of about 125 µL per spot and up to 500 µL total per card. This allows multiple samples or replicates to be collected on a single card.

FTA chemistry lyses cells, denatures proteins, and protects nucleic acids from degradation while binding DNA within the matrix. This enables room-temperature storage, simplified transport, and compatibility with direct amplification or punch-based workflows.

These cards are widely used in forensics, genomics, animal identification, food and agriculture testing, and molecular biology research where reliable DNA sample preservation is required.
