The FTA Concentrator-PS is a 25 mm filter funnel with an FTA disc as the filter. It has a plastic laminate with three (3) 6 mm holes cut into the laminate. This directs the flow of solution to concentrate the sample. The FTA Concentrator-PS is designed for fast purification of parasite DNA in preparation for PCR analysis. The new product combines concentration and purification into one step, speeding time to detection, and enhanced sensitivity thanks to FTA technology incorporated in the unit. It is not recommended for archiving or for bacterial samples.

FTA Concentrator -PS

A 47 mm filter funnel containing Whatman Grade 4 filter paper is recommended as a prefilter for samples containing large particulates. Features and Benefits Speeds time to detection. Combines concentration and purification in one step to speed results. Time- and cost-effective. Eliminates DNA template preparation steps. Increases sensitivity. FTA technology supports detection of small numbers of organisms. Effective. Patented chemical formula lyses cells on contact, entrapping DNA in the matrix. Increases productivity. DNA is immediately ready for PCR analysis. High quality DNA. FTA chemicals protect DNA from enzymatic degradation, environmental damage and fungal/microbial attack. Safe. Infectious pathogens are inactivated after coming in contact with FTA coated matrices. Eliminates errors. Capture method avoids problems typically associated with pathogen isolation and concentration and DNA template preparation. Easy-to-use. No special skills required.
