Designed to meet the buccal DNA sample collection challenge

The NUCLEIC-CARD Sample Collection Device is an integrated collection system comprised of a NUCLEIC-CARD, a one-side padded and cuttable FLOQSwab, and a protective plastic holder. This system helps ensure that samples are more easily transferred to the central area of the NUCLEIC-CARD with increased uniformity and reproducibility. This integrated collection system is ideal for collecting, transporting, and archiving DNA buccal samples. Its enhanced usability and performance extends forensic laboratories the ability to achieve a high first-pass success rate for reference samples and decrease laboratory costs.

Key features

  • Consistent—helps improves homogeneity and consistency with use of protective plastic holder for sample deposition
  • Quality—facilitates high-quality STR profiles with Applied Biosystems direct PCR amplification kits
  • Higher sample transfer—redesigned one-sided collecting lollipop and improved flocked foam for increased sample collection and transfer
  • Certified free of DNase, RNase, and amplifiable human DNA; ethylene oxide treated components help ensure the device is free of amplifiable human DNA and help prevent sample DNA degradation
  • Easy visualization—indicating card that changes color from pink to white upon sample addition  
  • Facilitates automated processing—framed NUCLEIC-CARD device uses color change to show the location of the sample on the matrix, helping guide commercially available automated CPA200 punching systems, as well as manual punching
  • Enables long-term archiving of samples at room temperature
  • Helps reduce cross-contamination with cutting barriers and cleaning area

Applications

Reference samples 

The NUCLEIC-CARD Sample Collection Device is specifically designed to collect, transport, and archive human DNA from buccal cell samples for human identification purposes. The Sample Collection Device allows forensic laboratories to significantly enhance their ability to identify suspects, solve crimes, and bring justice to victims and their families.
