Simplified Collection, Preservation, and Room Temperature Storage of Nucleic Acids
The Thermo Scientific™ NUCLEIC-CARD™ Matrix is a chemically treated card-based system designed for easy collection, long-term preservation, and storage of nucleic acids from biological samples at room temperature. Supplied in a 4-spot format (Catalog No. 4473977), each card contains chemically-treated matrix spots that lyse cells, denature proteins, and immobilize nucleic acids in a single step.
Ideal for forensic, paternity, and molecular biology applications, the NUCLEIC-CARD™ enables direct PCR amplification from a card punch without requiring extraction, preserving DNA quality while streamlining downstream processing. Manufactured by Copan and distributed by Thermo Fisher Scientific, it ensures sample integrity, automation compatibility, and storage convenience.
Key Features & Benefits
✅ Direct PCR-Ready – Perform PCR amplification directly from a punched spot without nucleic acid extraction
✅ Room Temperature Stability – Allows ambient storage of nucleic acids for extended periods
✅ 4 Spot Format for Multiplexing – Enables multiple replicates or tests per sample
✅ Certified DNase/RNase Free – Guaranteed free of amplifiable human DNA and nucleases
✅ Inhibits Microbial Growth – Prevents contamination and sample degradation over time
✅ Automation Compatible – Compatible with Harris™ Manual Punch and BSD Robotics Punching Systems
Applications
- Forensic DNA Collection and Storage
- Paternity and Kinship Testing
- Clinical Research Sample Archiving
- Field-Based Genomic Studies
- Biobanking and Sample Transport
- High-Throughput PCR Workflows
