Ensuring Compatibility Between Lateral Flow Strips and Digital Readers

by

The Optical Interface When moving from visual readouts to digital quantification, the membrane surface texture becomes critical. Rough membranes scatter light, creating “optical noise” for reflectance readers. Surface Smoothness Due Bio Universal Strips are cast with a controlled air-side surface roughness (Ra < 2μm). This minimizes background scatter, allowing handheld readers (like those from Axxin ... Read more

Moving from Qualitative to Quantitative: The Role of Digital Readers

by

Beyond the Naked Eye Visual interpretation is subjective. Digital readers (benchtop or smartphone-based) analyze pixel intensity at the Test line (T-line) to provide quantitative data (ng/mL). Strip Homogeneity Digital quantification requires exceptional membrane uniformity. Due Bio strips feature a Coefficient of Variation (CV) of < 3%, making them ideal for high-precision digital diagnostic systems.
