Enrich first. Detect with substantially greater sensitivity.
Air inside a porous membrane scatters light and makes it look white. A matched clearing medium reduces that scattering while targets remain at the surface. Move the pointer to scan them in the microscope field.
CONFIGURABLE MEMBRANE
Typical workflows provide approximately 20–100× enrichment depending on sample volume and process conditions. Combined with µm-scale thinness, adjustable pore size, ultra-low fluorescence background and optical clearing, these properties concentrate targets, reduce interference and make downstream detection easier.
Volume-driven enrichment
Keep scrolling to exploreenrichment according to sample volume
A μm-scale ultra-thin membrane forms a compact target-bearing interface. The platform can deliver approximately 20–100× enrichment according to sample volume, so more concentrated target material enters downstream detection.
Together, these membrane properties concentrate and retain more target material at the surface so more concentrated targets enter downstream detection. Enrichment within the 20–100× range varies with sample volume and workflow conditions.
TWO PARALLEL ROUTES
Use centrifugation / embedded adsorption for smaller or standardised batch workflows, and evaluate filtration / retention for larger liquid volumes. Both routes concentrate targets at the membrane surface, with membrane type and operating conditions configured for the sample, target and downstream method.
A matched pretreated sample enters the sandwich cup, where centrifugal action and embedded adsorption concentrate targets for repeatable slide preparation and review.
A matched liquid sample passes through the membrane, concentrating cells, bacteria or small particles from a larger volume for microscopy or molecular preparation.
DOWNSTREAM INTERFACES
One enriched membrane can support multiple downstream paths: morphology or fluorescence observation of cells, bacteria and small particles; direct entry into lysis and PCR / NGS preparation; or testing of water, air and production environments.

INDUSTRIALISED SYSTEM
Core membranes and consumables concentrate the target first. Reagent kits, slide-preparation and staining instruments, automated or semi-automatic scanning and AI-assisted review then carry compatible workflows from sample preparation into observation.
01
Core membranes and consumables implement the centrifugal and filtration enrichment routes.
02
Method-matched kits, staining solutions and consumables support applicable morphology workflows.
03
Slide-preparation and staining instruments connect only where the selected morphology workflow requires them.
04
Automated or semi-automatic scanning can connect to AI-assisted and cloud-based digital review.
05
Fluorescence, PCR / NGS, environmental, industrial and other methods enter through application-specific configuration.

Tianqi Medical develops membrane materials, enrichment consumables and workflows as one platform that concentrates and retains targets at the membrane surface. Once enriched, the sample can connect to morphology, fluorescence, nucleic-acid or other methods with fewer avoidable transfer and elution losses.
Matched clearing medium reduces light scattering within a porous membrane while targets remain at its surface for observation.
Enrichment range, membrane properties and workflow outcomes are verified under their applicable sample and process conditions.
Core membranes, consumables, reagents, instruments and digital analysis form a connected product system.
