NC and Nylon membrane was used as the reagent layer which contain the enzymes/chromogens react with the analyte to generate the colour change that will be proportional to the amount of the analyte in sample being analysed. My main problem is that the colour formed in the reagent layer appeared unevenly so that no consistent results can be obtained. Does anyone who have the experience in development of dry diagnostic reagent strip can offer me some help or advice ??
