Overview
Dried blood spots on FTA cards are easy to collect, post and store, which is why so many sample collections arrive on card. The challenge comes later, when hundreds of punches need clean DNA without hours of manual work.
The AmpliMax FTA Card Extraction Kit takes card punches through a short bench lysis and then onto your automated extraction system, so card collections become purified DNA in batches.
Key benefits
Made for FTA cards
Developed for blood spots dried on FTA cards, the format many sample collections arrive in.
Small sample input
Each preparation uses three to four 3 mm card punches, so the rest of the card can be kept.
Runs on open extraction systems
Runs on the Tianlong Libex, Seegene SEEPrep32 and Aurora Biomed ADNap 20, rather than a single dedicated instrument.
Walk-away purification
Once lysates are loaded, the extraction system runs the binding, washing and elution, so staff are free for other work.
How it works
Card punches are lysed with Proteinase K on the bench. The lysate is combined with magnetic beads and loaded onto the extraction system, which captures, washes and elutes the DNA.
