  • Patterned membrane structure
    Patent number: 11313854
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a patterned membrane structure comprising a microporous membrane layer, wherein the microporous membrane layer includes a plurality of flow lanes, the flow lanes are separated by hydrophobic separation channels, and the flow lanes and hydrophobic separation channels form a repetitive pattern; and a method for manufacture of the patterned membrane structure. The patterned membrane structure according to the present invention represents an industrial scale precursor of membranes such as a multiparameter lateral flow membrane comprising separated flow lanes.
    Type: Grant
