For use as sample, conjugate or absorbent pads in diagnostic test strips |
|
Consistency in sample and conjugate pads impacts the performance of test strips used in diagnostic assay devices. Release of detector reagents and sample flow across lateral-flow membranes are both subject to variations in pad quality. Selecting the right pads for use in your device can help prevent inconsistent assay performance.
Millipore pads are available in a variety of widths and in sheets and rolls to suit a variety of manufacturing processes.
Glass Fiber Conjugate Pads
Our glass fiber pads have low extractables and excellent consistency. Advances in the production of these glass fiber substrates ensure uniform surfaces and low cost.
Sample and Absorbent Pads
Made from non-woven, 100% pure cellulose fiber, these pads can be used as sample or absorbent pads. As with our conjugate pads, these pads are manufactured to ensure consistency in your assay. Our pads do not contain binders or glues, which can interfere with assay performance.
Specifications
Materials are available in slit rolls, sheets, or strips.
