Merck, WHAWB120208, QIAcard™FTA™Gene cards

General description
QIAcard™ FTA™ Gene (100) is a non-indicating three sample regions framed card utilized for the transportation, preservation, and collection of blood, cells, and tissue that are pigmented biological material.
Application
QIAcard™ FTA™ Gene (100) has been used for: molecular biology and amplifying the whole genome
identification of animals, insects, and transgenics
genomics and plasmid screening
medical transfusions and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing
drug development and short tandem repeat (STR) analysis
testing food and agriculture

Features and Benefits
Consists of a free radical scavenger and chemical denaturants
Sample storage at ambient temperature for a long time
Immediate DNA capture improves process efficiency for short tandem repeat (STR) analysis by allowing direct amplification
Contained in stiff card frame allowing the use of automated pipetting/dispensing and punching devices
Takes less than 30 minutes to capture nucleic acid for downstream applications
While proteins and inhibitors are removed from the matrix, DNA stays firmly attached to flinders technology associates (FTA), at ambient temperature for years, minimizing laboratory freezers requirement.
Proteins, however, remain strongly linked to flinders technology associates (FTA) elute during the matrix′s elution of DNA

Other Notes
Sample integrity is optimized when FTA™ Cards are stored in a Multi-Barrier Pouch with a Desiccant Packet.

Apply only one blood sample to each card.
