Lateral flow absorbent pads
Customizable absorbent pads designed for Lateral Flow Immuno Assay applications guarantying the highest level of purity and quality.
- Uniform absorption
- High material purity
- Hydrophilic
- Wide range of absorbency/thickness
- Available in sheets and rolls in custom sizes
Ahlstrom-Munksjö absorbent pads collect the liquid processed through the strip by capillary action, increasing consistency of the flow and preventing backflow of the liquid.
They are suitable for a wide range of diagnostics applications including:
- Infectious disease screening
- Pregnancy tests
- Drug abuse monitoring
- Veterinary diagnostics
- Food and beverage testing
- Environmental safety
The newly designed absorbent pad grade 440 offers an intermediate thickness and absorption capacity between our standard grades 222 and 270, exhibiting exceptional dimensional stability and a high wicking rate given to its consistency of a blend of cotton and glass fibers.
