Unisart® CN 180 DX Membrane

The Unisart® CN 180 DX membrane is a lateral flow membrane that combines high protein binding capacity with superior sensitivity for critical applications, such as HIV and malaria tests. All raw materials are REACH compliant.

Unisart® CN 140 is a suitable membrane for a broad range of applications, as it offers a good balance between protein binding, sensitivity, and capillary speed.

For critical applications, such as infectious diseases (e.g., HIV and malaria), very high protein binding and sensitivity is needed. The Unisart® CN 180 DX was developed to meet this need. This new membrane has a nominal pore size of 5 μm, which is the smallest in Sartorius' product portfolio. As a result, the inner surface area is increased, and more protein can be bound. The combination of increased protein binding and decreased capillary speed results in enhanced signal intensity.

Here, we compare Sartorius' gold standard Unisart® CN 140 with the new Unisart® CN 180 DX in terms of protein binding capacity and sensitivity.
