Constructed of 100% nitrocellulose with no treatments post manufacture, AE membranes off a level of purity and performance that cannot be seen in post-treated materials.  The AE membranes have been extensively used int he lateral flow industry for 20 years and have become the standard for manufacturers on every continent.

Features and Benefits

  • Constructed of 100% nitrocellulose.
    Complete lateral flow system optimization and consistent performance.
  • Excellent membrane purity.
    Full control of test system additive levels.
  • Low background.
    Clearer test results.
  • Extensive range of flow rates.
    Meets the requirements of even the most difficult assays.

Product Range and Properties

AE 100 
Unbacked membrane construction. A very fast wicking membrane for use with highly viscous samples, e.g., undiluted serum.

AE 99 
Unbacked membrane construction. A general purpose membrane for use with most sample types giving good combination of sensitivity and fast wicking.

AE 98 Fast 
Unbacked membrane construction. A sensitive membrane that haves a fast wicking rate for use with most sample types.

AE 98
Unbacked membrane.  An unsupported membrane that gives good line quality for use with low-viscosity samples.

Standard Sizes
Available in 50m rolls of 25mm width, for other sizes please inquire.
