Sample Collection Cards, LeafSaver

This LeafSaver is ideal for simple collection, transportation and ambient-temperature storage of plants, fungi, insects and parasites.

• DNA-free card for higher accuracy of the results
• High quality STR profiling and NGS studies
• Direct-mutiplex PCR and quantitative PCR
• User-friendly design to facilitate collection, avoid cross-contamination and to protect the biological samples
• Long-term storage and transportation of samples at ambient temperature.

This card is designed to capture diverse small Eukaryotic organisms, including plants, fungi, insects and parasites. Engineered with a protective cover, LeafSaver allows for live collection and direct application of organisms onto the specialised collection paper, eliminating the need for complex preparations beforehand.

This collection paper is made from pure cotton material and treated with chemicals to ensure long-term preservation of nucleic acids at ambient temperatures for over two decades.

LeafSaver's innovative design features four distinct areas, enabling the collection of multiple samples of the same nature or repeated samples of identical specimens (replicates). This not only enhances result accuracy but also facilitates higher quantities of DNA recovery.
