What is Microline ™
Asahi Kasei offers a range of unique nonwoven materials, including those optimized for sample pads and conjugate pads in lateral flow immunoassays.
Our cellulose-based nonwoven sample pads provide excellent absorption and release properties, making them ideal for customers seeking rapid diagnostics.
For conjugate pads, we offer nonwoven materials made of 100% continuous ultra-fine PET fibers with larger fiber diameters, which help reduce non-specific color development, minimize lot-to-lot variation, and improve working conditions in production sites.
Nonwoven fabrics for sample pads
▼Cellulose (Cupro) continuous filament nonwoven fabrics
Cellulose nonwoven fabrics with the following features:
- Excellent moisture absorption/desorption: Provides faster detection times
- Very little lint: Improved workability with less lint
- No binder: Decreases the risk of false positive tests
