Sterlitech is proud to announce a new addition to our growing portfolio of specialty membranes. PrimeCare™ Blood Separation Membranes, now available for use in diagnostic and clinical applications where efficient plasma separation from whole blood is critical. 

These high-performance membranes are specifically engineered for membrane-based plasma separation. They enable rapid, equipment-free isolation of plasma from whole blood – an essential step for accurate and reliable diagnostic testing.

Key Benefits and Features:

• Designed for Lateral Flow Assays: Optimized for use in diagnostic devices that rely on clean plasma for accurate detection and measurement
• Sample Integrity: Custom coatings designed to reduce or prevent red blood cell hemolysis, helping preserve the quality and stability of the plasma sample
• Efficient Blood Filtration: Reliably removes red blood cells to deliver a clear, cell-free plasma sample suitable for downstream analysis
• Flexible Formats Available: The PrimeCare™ membranes can be customized to fit a variety of device configurations and performance needs
• Consistent Quality and Performance: Manufactured under stringent quality standards to ensure batch-to-batch reliability 

Applications:

• Blood Glucose Monitoring: 
  In diabetic testing devices, PrimeCare™ membranes allow for plasma separation from capillary blood samples, enhancing measurement accuracy and consistency.
• Infectious Disease Detection: 
  Used in membrane-based rapid diagnostic devices to isolate plasma and detect biomarkers for conditions such as HIV, COVID-19, hepatitis, and malaria.
• Hormone Testing:
  Essential for precise hormone level analysis in reproductive and thyroid testing platforms, where red blood cell interference must be minimized.
• Immunoassays: 
  Serve as a front-end filtration step in membrane-based immunoassay systems, improving signal clarity and reducing variability.
• Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM):
  Support accurate plasma drug level readings in clinical settings through clean and efficient blood component separation.
• Point-of-Care and Home Diagnostics: 
  Ideal for compact, user-friendly diagnostic platforms requiring fast, reliable results—especially in decentralized or resource-limited environments.
