Cards for Room Temperature Transport of Colorless Biological Samples Now Available

By LabMedica International staff writers
Posted on 25 Aug 2011
A new line of sample transport cards allows storage and transfer of colorless biological fluids such as plasma, urine, CSF (cerebrospinal fluid), and the like at room temperature.

GE Healthcare Life Sciences (Little Chalfont, United Kingdom) has announced the release of the new Whatman (Maidstone, United Kingdom) line of Indicating FTA DMPK (Drug Metabolism, Pharmaco-Kinetic) Cards.

The blue colored cards contain proprietary chemical mixtures that lyse cells, inactivate pathogens, and denature degradative enzymes and other proteins. More...
When a sample is applied, the blue dye is displaced, leaving a lighter-colored area for easy identification. The cards were designed to work with low biological sample volumes (10 μL to 20 μL).

Sample collection does not require a freeze-thaw cycle, which saves time and helps to prevent sample degradation. In addition, since dry ice is not needed at any stage, these cards provide cost effective handling, shipping, and storage options.

GE Healthcare’s Indicating Cards are manufactured in-house to ISO9001:2008 standards, which ensures batch-to-batch consistency, and controlled global distribution enables multicenter studies to be planned with confidence.
