CytoSep® plasma separation media for whole blood diagnostics

CytoSep® is a single-layer plasma separation media made from high-purity natural and synthetic fibers, designed for efficient plasma separation in whole blood diagnostics. It is widely used in lateral flow applications, where it retains blood cells while allowing serum to flow rapidly.

Three established grades—CytoSep® 1660, 1662, and 1663—offer varying thicknesses to support different blood volume requirements, from low to high.

Additional grades—CytoSep® 1667 HV and 1668 HV Plus—are engineered to handle higher blood volumes within the same media area while minimizing hemolysis. These thinner materials enable greater plasma recovery and require less chasing buffer, making them well-suited for applications where improved sensitivity is essential.

Key benefits of lateral flow plasma separation pads

  • Consistent and rapid lateral separation of whole blood
  • Available in different thicknesses to accommodate range of whole blood sample volumes
  • Faster blood absorption in HV and HV Plus yields higher volumes of plasma
  • Customized sheet, rolls and specialty die cut sizes
