Environmental and industrial particle detection

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.

EVIDENCE

Why targets are easier to find

Membrane enrichment concentrates dispersed cells, bacteria and small particles on a small membrane area so more targets enter the next step, while less elution, transfer and repeated slide preparation reduces the loss of low-abundance targets during handling.

Large volume

Capture more of the original sample

Membrane filtration handles a larger input volume, improving the chance that low-abundance targets enter the detection workflow.

Low abundance

Improve detection opportunity

Cells, microbes and small particles are concentrated into a compact membrane area for higher target density.

Multi-method

One membrane, multiple methods

The enriched membrane can connect to microscopy, fluorescence, PCR or sequencing preparation according to the target.

WORKFLOW

Workflow

01Sample pretreatment

Standardised sampling

Use a documented sampling method for water, air or production environments and record sample volume and field conditions.
02Enrichment

Membrane-surface concentration

Select embedded adsorption or filtration from the sample matrix and concentrate low-abundance targets from a larger input onto the membrane.
03Microscopy

Connect the detection method

Choose microscopy, fluorescence, PCR or sequencing preparation from the target type while keeping sample transfers to a minimum.
04Stage

Reliable delivery

Standardised consumables and clear operating steps support field, laboratory and batch-sample workflows.
