Description

Collect, stabilize, process, transport, and archive buccal DNA samples with Whatman Indicating FTA Micro 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

The WB120210 FTA Micro Card is designed for the collection, stabilization, transport, and storage of nucleic acid samples such as blood or buccal cells. FTA chemistry lyses cells on contact and protects DNA from degradation, allowing reliable downstream analysis.

Each micro card contains one sample area capable of holding up to approximately 125 µL of whole blood (or similar sample). This makes it ideal when only a single specimen needs to be collected and archived.

A non-indicating FTA card does not change color when a sample is applied, making it especially suitable for already colored samples such as blood. Indicating versions are typically used when visual confirmation of sample application is required.

FTA Micro Cards can be used with a wide range of biological materials, including whole blood, buccal cells, cultured cells, plasmids, and tissue samples. Once applied, nucleic acids become immobilized in the matrix for later testing.

FTA technology enables room-temperature sample storage, pathogen inactivation, and simplified transport without dry ice or freezers. This reduces shipping costs and makes the cards especially valuable for field collection, forensics, and remote sampling workflows.
