FT Diagnostic Membranes

FT Diagnostic Membranes are made from pure nitrocellulose cast directly onto high-quality paper. FT supported membranes are the membranes of choice for flow-through assays. FT membrane simplifies the manufacturing process and reduces the chance of test failure due to poor contact between the membrane and the absorbent. These high binding, small-pore membranes have a large surface area and a high protein-binding capaciaty.

Features and Benefits

• Manufactured for vertical-flow assays
    Eliminates problems caused by capillary rise

• Small pore structure
   Accurate results; low nonspecific binding; greater sensitivity

• Increased surface area
   Higher binding capacity and sensitivity with superior signal-to-noise ratios

• 100% pure nitrocellulose
   Guarantees the highest possible binding capacity
