General description

Nitrocellulose Membrane for Lateral Flow Immunoassay

Nitrocellulose membrane is a very critical component of the assay. Along with high protein binding, surface quality and performance consistency are crucial parameters of substrate quality.

OMICRON™ Nitrocellulose membrane is highly stable and provides consistent wicking rate across it's shelf-life. This is achieved by developing our process with high quality raw materials, enabling strong process control and environment control during the manufacturing process

Key Properties
  • High Protein binding: Small pore size allows for higher protein binding capacity of the membrane
  • Consistent Thickness: Allows homogeneous membrane structure and in-turn protein binding
  • Surface Quality: Smooth, powder-free surface with low background signal allows for sharp capture lines and clear results to maximize sensitivity and specificity of the test
  • Hydrophilic: Surfactant is added for fast wetting
  • Consistent Properties: Specially designed & custom built production lines to ensure intra and inter-lot consistency aiding test sensitivity throughout your product's life cycle
  • Purity: Constructed of 100% pure nitrocellulose polymer that contains no interfering contaminant or post-treatment chemicals that affect assay performance
Testing Protocol
  • Capillary Wicking: Multiple samples taken from each lot to ensure that wicking rate of water & saline solution is within the acceptable range
  • Calliper Consistency: Calliper measurement across multiple samples in a batch to ensure intra-lot and inter-lot consistency
  • Dot Blot Test: To ensure consistent chemical compatability & antibody wicking
  • Bubble Point: To ensure consistency in physical structure of the membrane
  • Line Printing Test: To check that surface is smooth with low background signal, creating sharp lines
  • Tensile Strength: To ensure that the membrane will not tear or crack during transportation, storage and processing
  • Backlight Inspection: To ensure excellent surface quality- white, smooth surface and absence of microscopic defects & foreign matter
  • Stability Test: Accelerated study to ensure the shelf life of membrane
