Nitrocellulose Membrane
The development of rapid diagnostic tests involves selection and validation of various test components. Many permutation-combinations are tried before freezing a set of components for a newly developed test. This makes it very important that all the components exhibit high inter and intra-lot consistency.
Keeping pace with advances in detection technologies, mdi thoroughly understands the assay design process and offers a wide variety of very high quality rapid test components.
| Membrane Type | Pore Size/ Wicking Time | Sensitivity | Migration Speed | Test Time | Line Intensity | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CNPH | 70sec, 90sec, 150sec, 200sec | Highest | Slower | Longer | Sharp | – HbsAg Serum Test – Urine Ab Tests – Environmental and Agricultural Analytes – Milk testing |
| CNPC | 10µm, 12µm, 15 µm | Medium | Medium | Medium | Sharp | – hCG – Heart disease markers – Cancer markers – Drugs of Abuse – Infectious disease tests – Whole blood tests – Environmental and Agriculture Analytes |
| CNPF | 5µm, 8µm, 10 µm | Lower | Faster | Quick | Less Sharp | – hCG – Malaria – Whole blood tests |
