NITROCELLULOSE MEMBRANE

AXIVA - Whole Blood Separation Pads (Plasma Separation Pads)

AXIFLOW Whole Blood Separator: Fast and high quality plasma separation
AXIFLOW Whole blood separator removes Red Blood Cells (RBC) to give free plasma so that analytes of interest may be detected directly from blood samples without need of centrifugation or clotting to get serum.
AXIFLOW Whole blood separator is treated in house and we coat with our proprietary chemistry to get high quality and increase plasma yield for better sensitivity in test results.

Special Features of AXIFLOW Blood Separator :

• Fast blood absorption: testing procedure quicker
• High quality plasma recovery: AXIFLOW blood separator stop RBC while allowing free plasma to migrate across the membrane with buffer.
• Consistent blood absorption: No interference of Red blood cell.
• Most blood separation systems rely on differential migration speed of RBC and plasma in a matrix and when blood with high haematocrit is applied, the RBC leak pass the separator onto the membrane. AXIFLOW blood separator immobilise RBC where blood is applied and RBC do not
• pass the separator even with excess applied blood with high haematocrit
• High blood volume loading: Plasma yield increased for better sensitivity in test results

Generally 20 to 35 ul of blood sample is required for plasma separation.

COVER TAPE

Cover tapes are required for dipsticks to maintain good contact between the membrane, the sample pad, and the sink pad. These also prevent evaporation of samples when running besides offering mechanical strength to the delicate test components.
Axiva cover tapes use special adhesives which are nonreactive and non-migrating, and therefore do not inter fere with the nitrocellulose membrane.
