What is NanoAct™ ?
NanoAct™, cellulose nano beads boasting remarkable color intensity,
significantly enhances assay sensitivity.

Why you Choose NanoAct™ for your test kit?
High Sensitivity
NanoAct™ enhances visibility and enables more sensitive detection of low antigen concentrations.
01. FluA/B Assay
Performance comparison between commercially available kits and Asahi Kasei prototype kits using NanoAct™ (n=1).
The horizontal axis represents the intensity of line color as determined by visual inspection.
The numerical values correspond to the reference grade table below.

The tested antigens are as follows:
(i) RayBiotech Influenza A Brisbane_10_07(H3N2)_8000-fold dilution
(ii) SIN 40205-V08 Influenza A H1N1 (A_California07_2009) Nucleorotein_50000-fold dilution
(iii) RayBiotech Influenza HA B Victoria_504_00_2000-fold dilution
(i) FluA (ii) FluA (iii) FluB
Other Assays
hCG Assay

Troponin I Assay

*n=10 in each concentration
*Test Lines (after 15 minutes) were compared by reader (mV)
*Materials: antibodies, conjugate pads, nitrocellulose membranes, absorbent pads, and sample pads (hCG Assay), blood separation filters (Troponin I Assay)
Fast Detection Time
Enhanced test lines can be attained, resulting in expedited detection times.

*A comparative analysis reveals the performance distinction between two prototype test kits: one utilizing NanoAct™ (upper) and the other employing colloidal gold (lower).
When subjected to identical antibody concentrations, three minutes after sample addition, the test lines on the NanoAct™ kit exhibited enhanced visibility.
Multiple Colors
NanoAct™ offers you the potential to make your rapid test’s sensitivity higher. Also, it makes multiple target markers visually distinct by the use of its range of multiple colors.
