Abstract

The use of Flinders Technology Associates (FTA���® cards) produced and marketed by Whatman���® International Ltd. UK for the inactivation and transfer of microorganisms has been tested in recent years. FTA���® cards are composed of a cellulose membrane containing lyophilized chemicals capable of inactivating a wide range of microorganisms preserving their nucleic acids. The samples obtained can be processed in the laboratory from the inactivated virus in the paper of the card. The aim of this work was to demonstrate the advantages of using FTA���® cards for inactivation, transport, and molecular diagnosis of VEN in allantoic fluid samples in young patients using fixed orthodontic treatment.
