Great product to store and carry biological samples without dry ice or cool box.
Sample storage and stabilization.
Very useful to store and carry blood, serum, sputum, pus, bacterial colony, virus, stool smear, etc. All the samples become soaked and dried and can be carried easily without degrading the sample. The Nucleic Acid and other molecules remain intact in the sample.

I do wish the cost was not as high for the un-treated bare cards.
Bioanalysis of blood
I think the cards work well for my application. They are fairly easy to work with and have been an integral part of my work.

- DBS microvolume sampling requires only 10 to 20 μl per sample.
- Fewer experimental animals are required because Toxicokinetic data are derived from Toxicology animals, thereby eliminating satellite colonies.
- More consistent data are obtained through more serial sampling from individual animals and less reliance on composite data.
- The 3-step DBS procedure is much more straightforward than the cumbersome centrifugation, isolation and cleanup of plasma.
- On-substrate cleanup has the potential to convey greater analyte stability, especially for enzyme-sensitive compounds.
- Room temperature stability saves on cost of dry ice shipments.
- Shipping without dry ice allows more remote sampling, particularly important for human clinical trial samples.
The FTA DMPK-A and FTA DMPK-B cards lyse cells and denature proteins on contact. Samples can be shipped and stored at ambient temperature and long-term stability has been demonstrated for analytes and metabolites sensitive to plasma enzymes.
