Why Strips Curl
Assembling lateral flow cards in uncontrolled humidity leads to membrane curling and adhesive failure. Nitrocellulose expands when wet.
Ideal Conditions
We manufacture Due Bio strips in a Class 100,000 cleanroom maintained at <20% RH. We strongly advise our customers to assemble their final cassettes in environments with <40% RH to maintain the structural integrity of the backing card bond.
