The Good
Simple, efficient, and reliable method for DNA storage, preservation, and extraction from whole blood.
The Bad
Relatively expensive, requires desiccant (an additional purchase) for best practice/use.
The Bottom Line
I highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a simple and reliable method to preserve and eventually extract DNA (and other nucleic acids) from whole blood. The FTA cards, although not inexpensive, have been a life saving product for us as they have allowed for the easy storage and transport of important biological materials from our field site to our base laboratory.
