FTA cards are a suitable device for SARS-CoV-2 sample collection due to high RNA recovery, RNA stability for 7 days at 20°C and 30°C, sensitive PCR detection of viral RNA compared to direct saliva processing, and the potential for virus inactivation through sample lysis.

FTA cards and FTA Elute cards utilize patented Whatman technology that simplifies collection, transportation, and storage of biological samples and processing of nucleic acids at room temperature. Simply apply your sample to the FTA card or FTA Elute card, which contains chemicals that lyse cells, denature proteins, and protect nucleic acids ...

FTA （Flinders Technology Associates）（FTA滤膜，FTA卡）是一种特制的滤纸。 它由专利配方的强力变性剂和螯合剂浸泡，纤维基质上含有特殊的化学物质，当捕捉到细胞后自动将其裂解，并与核酸结合，维持样品中DNA的完整性，保护核酸免于降解，免受核酸酶、氧化剂 ...

QIAcard FTA provides a remarkably easy way to collect, isolate and store nucleic acid samples for analysis. Apply almost any type of biological sample to the FTA matrix and the nucleic acids are instantly captured and preserved without the need for refrigeration.

FTA technology enables cell lysis on contact, denatures proteins and confers immediate stabilization and protection of nucleic acids. DNA remains tightly bound to FTA while proteins and inhibitors are washed from the matrix. There are 3 different card formats available for both QIAcard FTA formats, Indicating and Non-Indicating:

FTA ™ Cards contain chemicals that lyse cells, denature proteins and protect nucleic acids from nucleases, oxidation and UV damage. FTA ™ cards rapidly inactivate organisms, including blood-borne pathogens, and prevent the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms.

• FTA (Flinders Technology Associates) cards are cotton- based, cellulose paper containing chemicals that burst cells, denature proteins and protect DNA, leaving a sample suitable for

This study examined the yield and quality of DNA from samples applied to Whatman ® FTA ® cards, using five common methods of DNA extraction. The data demonstrate that all five methods yield purified DNA of sufficient quantity and quality for both quantitative PCR and short tandem repeat analyses.

FTA cards® have proved useful for sample storage and latter identification of pathogens with importance for agricultural, animal and human health: however, for optimal handling, processing, and biosafety measures are not well-established.
