Description
HID-CARD™ is an easy-to-use system for collection, preservation, and long-term storage of nucleic acids at room temperature. The HID-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 HID-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 HID-CARD™ is identified with a pre-printed barcode.
Automation and cleaning area
HID-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 Agoliolab.
