Nylon₆₆ membranes for
In-Vitro Diagnostic Test Kits

Buildings on a history of innovation, CUNO's family of Nylon membranes features new levels of performance consistency and physical uniformity ideally suited for the rapid test manufacturer. With years of Nylon₆₆ membrane process development, manufacturing experience, and numerous Nylon patents, CUNO's Flex N^TM advanced proprietary casting technology¹ delivers a Nylon membrane with unprecedented performance consistency for use in flow-through and lateral-flow rapid diagnostic test kits. The superior surface and cross-sectional membrane uniformity combined with Nylon's natural hydrophilicity and media strength provide rapid assay device manufacturers with advantages unattainable with other media technologies.

Advantages

Consistency:

• Superior cross-web, down-web, and lot-to-lot consistency provides repeatable performance time after time, and reduces incoming quality inspections, chemistry rework, and scrap.
• Narrow wicking rate ranges minimize lot-to-lot lateral flow chemistry adjustments.
• Uniform side-to-side membrane surface characteristics eliminate media orientation concerns during device manufacture - both sides provide uniform kinetics and uniform signal color.

Performance:

• Enhanced tensile strength eliminates the need for additional laminated support and improves manufacturing durability when using automated and robotic processing.
• Nylon-specific blocking kits are available to provide minimal background signal, rapid colloid movement, and reduced product development time.
• Naturally hydrophilic without additives.

Flexibility:

• Available in two distinct end group chemistries to provide ease of selection for protein binding and sensitivity.
• A wide range of pore sizes and wicking rates for flow-through and lateral flow configurations to provide exact conformance to your specific test requirements.
• Available in rolls, sheets, and custom cuts to fit any process requirement.
