Membranes 101: A guide to membranes for POC diagnostics
Use this guide on membrane selection to optimize your POC tests for maximum accuracy, sensitivity, and efficiency.
Molecular testing in remote areas is becoming possible thanks to advances in POC tests . The tests are game-changers in the diagnosis of diseases such as tuberculosis, drug-resistant tuberculosis, HIV, and Ebola virus. These tests often contain highly sensitive membranes to capture cells or microorganisms for analysis.
Challenges you may face after developing a POC assay include regulatory and quality control issues, test accessibility, concerns about resource strain due to community-based testing, and more. Furthermore, no universal guidance exists to help stakeholders pick the most appropriate POC. Let us help with these issues.
Track-etched membranes are becoming more widely used in oncology, cell isolation, and cell culture. Find out more about track-etched membranes including their advantages and disadvantages, process considerations, and applications in our “Did you know?” infographic.
