Hello everyone,
I need to know if we can use FTA cards with DNA extract obtained with kit or with the phenol chloroform method ? ?
Or if its just for biological samples ?
Because, I want to do DNA extraction with phenol chloroform and storage my DNA for a long transport and it seems to be the best solution for me.
Thank you for your answer
Lucie.
Yes, FTA cards can be used for DNA storage and transportation. FTA cards contain a chemically treated fiber matrix. Once a biological sample is applied to an FTA card, chemicals rapidly immobilize and stabilize the DNA. The DNA is protected from further damage and degradation.

Dear.
I do not know about this at all. This is a question of people who specialize in genetics.
