Application areas
Collect more and lose less—so low-abundance targets are easier to detect.
Core advantages
Concentrate targets before detection, reduce transfer loss and use the same membrane-enrichment entry point across multiple methods.
Concentrate cells, bacteria and small particles from a larger sample volume onto a compact membrane area. Typical workflows provide approximately 20–100× enrichment, depending on input volume and process conditions.
Compatible workflows avoid unnecessary elution, tube changes and repeated slide preparation, preserving more low-abundance target material.
Connect microscopy, fluorescence, PCR, NGS, environmental and industrial detection from one membrane-enrichment entry point.
Solutions
Acid-fast staining
Concentrate dispersed acid-fast bacilli onto the membrane surface so low-bacillary-load samples are easier to detect. A 4,114-sample clinical study reported 79.4% sensitivity for membrane-enriched smears versus 60.5% for direct smears.

Microscopy and fluorescence
Keep cells, bacteria and small particles concentrated on the shadowless membrane and move directly into microscopy or fluorescence observation, reducing loss and morphology changes caused by elution and transfer.

PCR / NGS preprocessing
Concentrate first, amplify second—start from a higher-concentration sample. The enriched membrane can enter downstream lysis, PCR amplification or NGS library preparation without first eluting targets back into liquid, reducing transfer loss and keeping more target nucleic acid in the workflow.

Environment and industry
Support large-volume water, air and production-environment samples by concentrating dispersed low-abundance targets on a membrane before microscopy, fluorescence or molecular detection, so more of the available target enters the workflow.
