FTA Classic Indicating Card - 4 Circles (for buccal cells/saliva) FTA cards have successfully stored genomic DNA at room temperature for over 17 years (and counting). Card changes from pink to white indicating successful application of sample.  The dye used in the card does not affect the sample and is easily washed out during processing. Card flap doubles as a means of propping the card up while it dries and as a protective cover. Overall card measures 3 x 5 inches with four one-inch diameter circles which each hold 100-125 µL of sample. For more information on FTA cards, see the Whatman product description.
