A breakthrough technology

M-TRAP® Technology is based on the detection of antigen-antibody interaction on a porous membrane. Only the red blood cells having the corresponding antigen are fixed into the membrane revealing immediately the reaction.

The principle:

The M-TRAP® Technology, patented by DIAGAST, relies on the superposition of membranes and has 2 major advantages:

  1. Since the test antibodies are inside the upper membrane, they never get in direct contact with the user. There is no risk of cross-contamination.
  2. Since the lower membrane absorbs the liquids of the test (PAD Buffer and sample), the risk of blood exposure is considerably lower.

This simple protocol takes place in 3 steps and in 30 seconds.

  • 1-Activation
    1 drop of buffer is dispensed to hydrate the antisera
  • 2-Blood dispensing
    The blood samples are added into the well
  • 3–Revelation
    The well is filled with the buffer revealing the reaction

A very broad field of use:

Easy implementation, easy user-friend, easy reading!
The M-TRAP® technology has all the assets for optimal results in all conditions, however extreme they may be. See the vidéos under.
