Description
Description
A lateral flow test strip includes 4 components of porous structure: a sample pad, a conjugate pad, a reaction membrane (NC) pad, and an absorption pad.
The nitrocellulose membrane (NC) reaction pad carries immuno-capturing reactions and is the most critical component in a test strip. Specific biological assay components, such as antibodies or antigen immobilized in bands, can capture the conjugate and analyse that wick along the test strip to form the control line and the test line.
Cobetter offers NC membranes with different capillary velocities. The capillary speed of NC140C is slightly slower and the response time is longer, making higher detection sensitivity possible. They’re specifically designed to improve the sensitivity and robustness of the various lateral flow assays. Multiple product options with different capillary speeds and pore sizes are available for specific assay requirements.
Features
High porosity, high protein-binding, high sensitivity and rapid detection.
Extremely hydrophilic. Instant wetting with uniform pore structure to ensure a consistent lateral flow rate.
Multiple options in pore sizes and capillary speeds.
Uniform thickness, smooth surface, and evenly distributed pore size ensure consistent assay performance.
Consistent assay results that are easy to read.
Length and width of membrane are customizable.
