Whatman WB120412 FTA Elute Micro Card, Indicating, 1 Sample Area Per Card, 25 Pack

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 lute contains a chaotropic salt. With FTA Elute, proteins remain tightly bound while D is eluted from the matrix. With FTA Elute, eluted D can be used for STR analysis (standard amplification), sequencing, and real-time PCR applications.
FTA Elute cards are available as indicating cards for use with clear samples, such as buccal cells or saliva. The cards include a purple indicating dye that turns to white when a clear sample is applied.

Features:
Improves process efficiency by enabling direct amplification for STR analysis due to immediate D capture on the FTA card.
Includes an inert dye, which turns to white when a buccal sample or saliva is added for easy confirmation of sample addition.
Immediate stabilization and protection of nucleic acids for long term archiving of samples at room temperature.
Different card options to support manual or automated processing for versatility and incorporation into current workflows.
