Countries around the world have neonatal screening programs for inherited metabolic disorders. Simple protein analysis by new automated methods is used to detect the presence of proteins which are markers of disease. 903 Specimen Collection Paper is globally known for its high quality for collecting blood samples for neonatal screening. Its international reputation is as the market leading paper for purity and reproducibility. 903 Paper is the original paper selected by Dr. Guthrie for collecting blood for PKU testing.
Genetic screening for disease states is now a mainstay in most hospital labs. There is a need to collect biological samples in a quick and easy manner. Whether collecting a blood sample or a non-invasive buccal cell sample, FTA Technology offers two matrices to choose from. For straightforward amplification analyses FTA Cards are used for rapid DNA preparation for PCR amplifications. For more flexibility and for real-time PCR analysis, FTA Elute offers the choice of DNA in solution for a wide variety of assays. Either way, FTA is the choice for genetic population screening.
