Upon 60 minutes contact of BVDV spiked human blood with Whatman FTA cards, the<br />

virus was reduced to non-detectable levels in all FTA card samples resulting in virus Log10<br />

reductions greater than 4.09 depending on the lot tested (95% confidence interval was<br />

calculated according to the ICH Topic Q5A).<br />

Conclusions<br />

Whatman FTA cards inactivate human immunodeficiency virus type 1<br />

(HIV-1) and BVDV (model for human Hepatitis C virus) at room temperature and<br />

therefore could be safely used for collection, transport, archiving and isolation of nucleic<br />

acids from patient samples infected with HIV-1 or human Hepatitis C virus.<br />
