The Chemically Treated FTA Card offers an advanced solution for the safe collection, preservation, and inactivation of pathogens and viruses in biological samples. This card is ideal for forensic, medical, and research applications where pathogen containment and DNA preservation are critical. It provides an extra layer of protection by neutralizing harmful pathogens during the sample collection process.
Key Features:
-
Pathogen Inactivation: The chemically treated FTA card safely inactivates a wide range of pathogens and viruses, ensuring the samples are safe for handling and transport.
-
DNA Preservation: The card stabilizes DNA while neutralizing harmful agents, making it ideal for forensic investigations, medical diagnostics, and research studies.
-
Sterile and Safe: Each card is individually packaged in sterile packaging, reducing contamination risks and ensuring secure sample handling.
-
No Refrigeration Required: The card preserves DNA and inactivates pathogens without the need for refrigeration, making it convenient for field use or in resource-limited environments.
-
Easy to Use: Designed for use by non-experts, the card simplifies the collection and preservation process while maintaining sample integrity and safety.
Operational Use:
-
Collect the Sample: Use the FTA card to absorb biological material, such as blood or saliva, from the subject.
-
Allow Drying: Allow the sample to dry completely on the card, which simultaneously preserves DNA and inactivates pathogens.
-
Store Safely: After drying, store the card at room temperature for long-term preservation, as the chemical treatment ensures safe storage.
-
Label and Transport: Properly label the sample and send it to the lab for DNA extraction, while the card ensures safe handling and pathogen-free transport.
Scope:
The Chemically Treated FTA Card is essential for law enforcement, medical professionals, researchers, and forensic investigators dealing with high-risk biological samples, offering pathogen inactivation and DNA preservation in one solution.
