QIAGEN QIAcard® FTA® Indicating cards

Reliable & Secure DNA Collection for Forensic, Clinical, and Genetic Research

QIAGEN QIAcard® FTA® Classic Indicating Cards provide a secure and reliable method for long-term DNA collection, storage, and transport. These specialized cards are chemically treated to lyse cells and protect nucleic acids from environmental degradation.

The indicating dye changes color upon sample application, providing visual confirmation of DNA deposition, making them ideal for forensic, clinical, and molecular biology applications. Each card has four sample areas, allowing for multiple sample deposits per card.
