NUCLEIC-CARD™ Collection Devices, framed

NUCLEIC-CARD is an easy-to-use system for collection, preservation, and long-term storage of nucleic acids at room temperature. The NUCLEIC-CARD matrix is chemically treated to enable cell lysis and protein denaturation. Nucleic acids are immobilized and preserved for long-term storage at room temperature.

Features of NUCLEIC-CARD include:

• Enables direct PCR amplification from a card punch, eliminating extraction steps
• Facilitates high quality STR profiles with Applied Biosystems direct PCR amplification kits
• Certified free of DNase, RNase, and amplifiable human DNA
• Prevents growth of microorganisms, enabling long-term room-temperature storage
• Easily automated with commercially-available punching systems to minimize manual handling and maximize sample integrity

Traceability

Every NUCLEIC-CARD is identified with a pre-printed barcode.

Automation and cleaning area

NUCLEIC-CARD is compatible with CPA200 and other punching systems and includes an area for cleaning strikes while punching with manual or automated punchers.

NUCLEIC-CARD is manufactured by Copan, a market leader in the area of sample collection tools, and distributed by Thermo Fisher Scientific.
