Product Overview:
ClaremontBio's Automated Lateral Flow Reagent Dispenser (ALFRD) offers an inexpensive and reliable alternative for dispensing reagents onto membranes or paper. This ALFRD unit is ideal for development or small-scale production Lateral Flow or paper-based fluidic applications. ClaremontBio's Lateral Flow Reagent Dispenser works with a syringe pump to drive reagents onto the nitrocellulose. We offer packages to include a syringe pump or you can purchase the ALFRD on its own if your lab already has a syringe pump

The ClaremontBio ALFRD is perfectly suited for assay development for COVID19. Contact us now for a quote and more information.
