NUCLEIC-CARD™ COLOR is an easy-to-use system for collection, preservation, and long-term storage of nucleic acids at room temperature. The NUCLEIC-CARD™ COLOR matrix is chemically-treated to enable cell lysis and protein denaturation. Nucleic acids are immobilized and preserved for long-term storage at room temperature. NUCLEIC-CARD™ COLOR changes color upon sample application to facilitate processing of buccal samples. NUCLEIC-CARD™ collection devices are manufactured by Copan, a market leader in the area of sample collection tools, and distributed globally by Life Technologies.

Key Features:

• 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 to enable long-term room-temperature storage
• Easily automated with commercially-available punching systems to minimize manual handling and maximize sample integrity
