A polyester backed and highly consistent membrane for use with low viscosity samples in a lateral flow assay.

• Exceptional intra- and inter-lot consistency as demonstrated by a coefficient of variation (CV) for capillary rise of <10%
• Improved assay consistency and reproducible limit of detection
• Reduced assay optimisation costs, compared to a less consistent membrane

The FFHP membranes are a result of improved membrane casting procedures, which result in enhanced intra- and inter lot consistency and sharper lines. The surface is uniform without unincorporated nitrocellulose powder and the fine structure fiber distribution provides large internal surfaces for binding proteins.

Nitrocellulose membranes are a key functional part of lateral-flow assays. The membrane must provide sufficient protein binding to enable the formation of a sharp and intense capture line, but at the same time the level of nonspecific background must be low for easy interpretation of results.

Thickness: 200 μm (including 100 μm backing)
