ClaremontBio’s ALFRD offers an inexpensive, reliable alternative for dispensing reagents onto membranes or paper. Ideal for assay development or small-scale production, this unit works with a syringe pump to drive reagents precisely onto nitrocellulose.
You can purchase the ALFRD as a standalone unit to use with your existing equipment or select one of our complete packages that include a high-precision syringe pump.
The Core ALFRD package
Includes: Lateral Flow Reagent Dispenser, New Era 4000 two-channel syringe pump, Standard accessories, and power source
(
Automated Lateral Flow Reagent Dispenser(ALFRD) instrument.
Includes: Dispenser, Standard Accessories and Power Source.
Does not include a syringe pump but requires one for operation.
