QIAGEN QIAcard FTA PlantSaver

Description

• For collection, stabilization, processing, transport and archiving of biological samples
• 4 sample areas per card
• The 4 spot area QIAcard FTA PlantSaver format provides a laminated flap that allows you to vigorously crush plant or insect samples into the FTA matrix without damaging the FTA card
• Features: Simply pressing plant samples onto the FTA matrix or applying homogenate captures and stabilizes the DNA
• Store and collect at room and high temperatures for convenient collection in the field
• Smaller sample size: Only young leaves are required, reducing growing time and speeding research
• Fast purification in 30 minutes: PCR-ready DNA can be purified on FTA in three simple steps, all in a single tube at room temperature
• Applications: Analyze plant DNA by PCR-based assays Detection of Genetically Modified (GM) organisms Marker selected breeding Varietal identification Phylogeny analysis Amplification of low copy number loci Invader™ assays Multiple displacement amplification Transgenic identification Analysis: Plant tissue is physically crushed on the card and the DNA binds to the matrix
• The chemical coating on the FTA card protects the DNA from degradation and allows the cards to be stored at room temperature for extended periods of time
• To prepare the sample for PCR, the matrix is washed with two nontoxic aqueous buffers
• The DNA remains bound to the matrix throughout purification and a small disk (1.2 or 2 mm in diameter) of the matrix provides enough template for PCR analysis.
