Nucleic Acid Storage Systems
For the collection, transport, archiving and isolation of nucleic acids at room temperature.

  • Nucleic acids are captured, immobilized, and stabilized for storage, all in one easy step
  • Captured nucleic acid is ready for downstream applications in less than 30 minutes
  • Different card options to support manual or automated processing for fast and efficient sampling
  • Nucleic acids collected on FTA Cards remain stable for years at room temperature
  • Indicating FTA Cards change color upon sample application to facilitate handling of colorless samples

FTA technology has the ability to lyze cells on contact, denature proteins, and protect DNA from degradation. FTA chemistry contains chemical denaturants and a free radical scavenger. With FTA, the DNA remains tightly bound while proteins and inhibitors are washed from the matrix. There are three options for DNA analysis with FTA cards: direct amplification, standard amplification with rinsing (“punch-in” method), and extraction of DNA from the card.

FTA® Classic Card: Four sample areas for application of up to 500 µl whole blood or 100 µl plant homogenate per card. Convenient for multiple applications of the same specimen or for collection of multiple animal or plant samples on one card.
FTA® Mini Card: Two sample areas for application of up to 250 µl whole blood or 50 µl plant homogenate per card. Convenient for protocols that require different locations for testing and archiving of samples.
FTA® Micro Card: One sample area for application of up to 125 µl whole blood or 25 µl plant homogenate per card. Recommended when only
