Sample Pad
The sample pad manages key properties of the sample such as pre-filtration, pH, distribution and flow of the sample on the conjugate release pad.
AxiflowTMrange of pad materials meets various development needs, delivering consistent absorbency and wicking rates for reproducible results. Produced under strict quality standards, AxiflowTM Sample Pads provide dependable performance across the product lifecycle.
- Low Protein Binding maintains test sensitivity
- Consistent performance enables test reproducibility
- Hydrophilic options enable rapid wetting when required
- High Tensile Strength allows ease-of-use during manufacturing process

Product also available in pre-treated options:
| T01 (for polyesters) | Incorporates minimal surfactant additives to make pad hydrophilic. User may include additives as per requirement. |
| T02 (for glass fiber) | |
| T03 (for both sample pad & glass fibre pad) | Includes buffers for uniform movement of gold and prevents non-specific binding |
#Wicking rate and water absorption of glass fiber pads are taken after T02 treatment
*Wicking rate and water absorption values are taken after T01 treatment.
Untreated pad doesn’t absorb water or wick due to hydrophobic nature
