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 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.
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

Frequently Asked Questions

This FTA Micro Card is designed for collection, storage, and preservation of DNA and RNA samples from biological materials such as blood, saliva, or plant tissue. It is widely used in forensics, diagnostics, and molecular biology workflows.

FTA cards contain a chemically treated matrix that lyses cells on contact, denatures proteins, and stabilizes nucleic acids. This allows DNA to remain protected and bound to the card for long-term storage without degradation.

The indicating version includes a color-changing dye that turns from pink to white when a sample is applied, helping users visually confirm proper sample application. This is especially useful when working with colorless samples like saliva or buccal cells.

Each card features one sample area capable of holding up to approximately 125 µL of whole blood or similar sample volume, making it ideal for single-sample collection and analysis.

FTA Micro Cards allow room-temperature storage, safe transport without cold chain, and reduced contamination risk. They also simplify workflows by enabling direct downstream analysis without extensive sample preparation.
