Description
Plasma separation membranes are integral to molecular diagnostic operations is the generation of high-quality plasma from whole blood samples. Vivid plasma separation membranes are optimized for one-step plasma separation from whole blood without the need for centrifugation. Whole blood processed through the Vivid plasma separation membrane has shown equivalent 2DE protein profiles for the cardiac biomarker Troponin I as compared to centrifuged plasma. The protein concentration of clinical biomarkers is not reduced when processed through the membrane making it an ideal material for diagnostic applications. The three grades are designed specifically for application use: GF is not post treated and is designed for small volumes of blood. GX grade is designed for small blood sample volumes (e.g., fingerstick) and compatibility with microfluidic devices and high sensitivity detection regimes (e.g., electrochemical). GR material is designed for larger volumes of blood typically found in lateral-flow applications.
