Optimizing Lateral Flow for Whole Blood Samples

The Red Blood Cell Challenge Direct application of whole blood can obscure the reading window and cause hemolysis (red background). An effective blood separation pad is essential. Integrated Solutions Due Bio offers compatible blood separation membranes that retain RBCs while allowing plasma to flow freely onto the nitrocellulose, enabling one-step “finger-prick” assays without centrifugation.

Optimizing Sample Pad Pre-treatment for Complex Diagnostic Matrices

The First Line of Defense: Sample Pad Treatment In veterinary and food safety diagnostics, samples are rarely clean. Whole blood, milk, and homogenized tissue contain lipids, red blood cells, and large particulates that can clog the analytical membrane. The solution lies in the Sample Pad. Buffer Optimization for Complex Matrices Standard glass fiber pads often … Read more
