Features:

• Rapid isolation of pure DNA
• Designed to kill pathogens and prevent future colonisation by bacteria of fungi
• Protects DNA from microbial and environmental degradation
• Archive samples at room temperature
• Reduces potential for cross-contamination between samples
• Eliminates shearing forces associated with conventional extraction methods

 Benefits:

• Capture and store nucleic acids in one step
• Reduces handling, saving time and money
• Stabilises genomic DNA at room temperature for over eleven years

QIAcard FTA CloneSaver™ cards capture  BAC and Plasmid DNA for long term storage and downstream applications in one easy step.

• Simply apply 5µl bacterial culture, resuspended colony or glycerol stock to a CloneSaver™ card. The plasmid or BAC DNA is captured and stabilised for long-term storage or immediate processing
• Captured DNA is easily accessible for downstream applications
• Store up to 96 samples on each CloneSaver™ card
• CloneSaver™ cards include a pink indicator that turns white upon sample application to aid identification and location
• Plasmid DNA held on  CloneSaver™ cards are stable at room temperature for at least two and a half years

CloneSaver™ cards provide a convenient and accessible format for down-stream applications  involving  frequently  used, plasmid  and BAC clones. Washed, punched discs from the card are ready for transformation of bacteria by stored, immobilised, plasmid DNA using electroporation or heat-shock methods. An immobilised, plasmid DNA punch can also be used directly as a template for PCR. The plasmid DNA template remains bound to the punch and can be re-used in another reaction. The PCR products remain in solution, do not bind to the punch, and are easily recoverable.
