Laminates for Lateral Flow Tests
A lateral flow test requires the NC membrane and other materials to be attached to a plastic backing. Nupore laminates or cards are such ready-to-use subassemblies of membrane, adhesive, and plastic. They are convenient to handle for application of reagents and later cutting them into dipsticks to make the complete test.
Laminate Types
- Laminate Type L-P25
- Laminate Type L-H50
- Laminate Type LFCN*-L2-P25
- Laminate Type LFCN*-L2-H50
- Laminate Type LFCN*-L3-P25
- Laminate Type LFCN*-L3-H50
Laminate Constitution
The wicking rate is an important characteristic of NC membrane for lateral flow tests and primarily determines the reaction kinetics. Nupore membranes are designated by pore size/wicking rate and have reproducible and defined wicking rates. The wicking rate of blocked membranes will, however, depend on the blocking protocol.
