Cytiva FF170HP Membranes

FF High Performance (HP) membranes are part of the AE family, which are directly cast onto a plastic film.

• The FFHP membranes are a result of improved membrane casting procedures, which result in enhanced intra- and inter lot consistency and sharper lines.
• The surface is uniform without unincorporated nitrocellulose powder and the fine structure fiber distribution provides large internal surfaces for binding proteins

Nitrocellulose membranes are a key functional part of lateral-flow assays.

• The membrane must provide sufficient protein binding to enable the formation of a sharp and intense capture line, but at the same time the level of nonspecific background must be low for easy interpretation of results.
• Nitrocellulose membranes are available in a range of wicking rates and formulations.
• It has long been known that the wicking rate of a membrane has a significant impact on test sensitivity.
