ROUTE B · Direct filtration
Filtration / retention enrichment membrane
Filtration and retention concentrate small particles from a larger liquid sample onto one membrane, ready for microscopy, fluorescence or PCR / NGS preprocessing.
ROUTE VALUE
Turn larger-volume samples into a membrane ready for detection
As carrier liquid passes through the filtration membrane, bacteria, cells and other small particles are retained and concentrated at the surface, completing filtration concentration. With matched optical clearing the membrane can enter microscopy, or it can connect to lysis and PCR / NGS library preparation, so one enrichment interface serves several detection methods.
- A broader sample entry point
- Concentrate particulate targets from liquid, environmental and industrial samples with membrane and pretreatment choices matched to the project.
- Fewer avoidable transfers
- Compatible workflows can use the enriched membrane directly, helping retain low-abundance targets already captured at the surface.
- One membrane, multiple pathways
- Connect microscopy, fluorescence, lysis, PCR or NGS preprocessing from the same enrichment interface.
PRINCIPLE
How targets reach the membrane
As carrier liquid passes through the filtration membrane, its pore structure retains bacteria, cells and other small particles, concentrating low-abundance targets from a larger sample volume within a compact surface area. Matched clearing medium reduces light scattering caused by air in the pores while targets remain at the surface for microscopy; the enriched membrane can also connect directly to lysis, PCR amplification and NGS library preparation with fewer avoidable elution and transfer steps.
-
01Sample pretreatment
Match the sample and membrane
Match pore size, surface wettability and pretreatment to the sample matrix, target particles and intended detection pathway.
-
02Enrichment
Retain and concentrate targets
Let carrier liquid pass while target particles are retained within a compact membrane area, so low-abundance targets enter downstream detection at a higher concentration.
-
03Microscopy
Use the membrane directly
Compatible workflows can clear and observe the enriched membrane, or place it directly into lysis and molecular preprocessing with fewer elution and recovery steps.
-
04NGS preprocessing
Connect multiple downstream methods
Connect microscopy, fluorescence, PCR, NGS or another analysis route from the same enrichment interface.
