FTA® Elute Micro Cards
FTA® Elute Micro Cards provide a convenient, safe way to ship cultures
to Accugenix for identification by DNA sequencing. The cards contain a
matrix on the surface which works to inactivate microbial organisms by
breaking open the cells and leaving only the DNA from the organism on the
card. Since it is simply DNA on the card and not a live culture, your
sample can be shipped to Accugenix with less hassle than ever. In fact,
the use of FTA® Elute cards eliminates the need for classifying your
samples as biohazards when shipping. In addition, the cards should be stored
and shipped at ambient temperature - so no ice packs are needed for shipping.
This method is ideal for both international and domestic shipping.
The FTA® Elute card is appropriate when samples are collected for DNA
analysis and the sample needs to be stabilized, transported and archived.
The use of FTA® Elute Micro Cards provides many benefits to our
customers.
Sample Preparation
Accugenix has developed a fast and easy procedure for inoculating the cards. It is vital that these instructions are followed to ensure that the samples will work with our validated process for eluting the DNA off of the card. This DNA can then be used in our sequencing process to obtain an identification for your sample. The links below will provide you with sample preparation instructions and shipping instructions for submitting samples to Accugenix on FTA® Elute Micro Cards. |
