DNA research like the Human Genome Project is changing the way living organisms are studied. Piecing together an organism's genome, however, typically requires the frozen storage of millions of samples, not to mention the time-consuming preparation procedures.

Whatman CloneSaver cards, containing the FTA chemistry, dramatically improve the traditional clone processing methods that involve frozen glycerol stocks and expensive, time-consuming purification methods. CloneSaver cards can transform a lab notebook or desk drawer into a storage device, and can reduce the storage-to-analysis time to less than 1 hour.
