Whatman WB120206 FTA Indicating Classic Card 4-Sample Areas, 4 x 125 microliter Size (Pack of 100)

The Whatman FTA indicating classic card is designed with a color indicator that changes from pink to white when sample is applied. It is recommended for use with clear samples such as buccal samples or cultured cells. The FTA indicating classic card utilizes patented Whatman FTA technology that simplifies the handling and processing of nucleic acids. It contains chemicals that lyse cells, denature proteins, and protect nucleic acids from nucleases, oxidative, and UV damage. This FTA card also rapidly inactivates organisms, including bloodborne pathogens, and prevents the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms. It allows you to capture nucleic acids in one easy step. Simply apply your sample to the FTA card. Cell membranes and organelles are lysed and the released nucleic acids are entrapped in the fibers of the matrix. The nucleic acids remain immobilized and are stabilized for transport, immediate processing, or long-term room temperature storage. Since captured nucleic acids are stabilized, this FTA card facilitates sample collection in remote locations and simplifies sample transport. For example, you can collect samples in the field without worrying about immediate refrigeration. Ship your samples back to the laboratory without expensive special handling or dry ice and process at your convenience. There are four sample areas for application of up to 500µl whole blood or 100µl plant homogenate per card. It is convenient for protocols that require different locations for testing and archiving samples. Different samples can be processed independently. 100/Pack. Whatman #: WB120206.
