Accurate, Consistent, Reliable

Lohmann formulates, manufactures, coats, and die-cuts adhesive solutions that have been used as component parts of clinical and point-of-care diagnostic products for over 20 years. By meeting the specialty demands of the diagnostics market - such as functionality, reliability, and processability - while adhering to very tight process tolerances, Lohmann has become a trusted industry partner. Whether a custom design or standard product, Lohmann provides innovative solutions that are precise, stable, non-reactive, and non-migratory - for both professional laboratory environments and at-home testing.

Solution Portfolio for Diagnostic Components

Whether as inert sealing materials in biosensor technology, as assay protecting barriers in microfluidic systems, or water-repellent coatings in lateral flow tests - Lohmann adhesive tapes ensure accurate and reliable test results. Their properties help protect sensitive assays and enable stable performance in demanding applications like lab-on-a-chip systems, glucose monitoring, or rapid tests.

Biosensors

Some users rely on these test strips several times per day for vital information in order to dose medication; others might just use them very occasionally for common health checks. To ensure the accuracy and consistency required for these tests, adhesive materials must be ooze-free, inert and manufactured to within very tight thickness tolerances.
Lohmann adhesives and tapes are formulated to meet these high demands combining stability and compatibility to test assays with properties such as optically clear, hydrophilic or electrically conductive.

Lab-on-Chip

Minimizing the lab does not minimize the requirements: by uniting state-of-the-art electronics and chemistry to provide diagnosis and prognosis in a portable cost effective platform present demanding challenges for membranes, films and adhesives such as optical clarity, flexibility or rigidity and contact angles to control fluid paths and fill times.
Lohmann combines its knowledge of adhesive development and raw materials with its comprehensive die-cutting capability to support manufacturers to develop and enhance their products through ever increasing functionality and performance.

Lateral Flow

Lateral flow tests need to be easy to use and accurate in order to deliver fast, accurate qualitative results for a vast and growing range of applications. To ensure this, adhesive materials must be able to bond to a wide variety of membrane materials while not reacting with antibodies and reagents used in the test itself. Lohmann can formulate adhesives to cater for these differing requirements and ensure that the downstream production processes are efficient with minimal cleaning intervention required. Products can be supplied in sheet or roll form fitting to the requirement.

From bonding to the entire diagnostic application

With our fully integrated production capabilities, we support our customers in realizing innovative, safe, and user-friendly products. From the initial concept to high-volume production, we offer adhesive tapes in roll or die-cut format, engineered for accuracy and consistency. Our flexible approach ensures that we can deliver the right solution for every stage of product development, from prototyping to serial production, while maintaining the highest quality standards.

Application example:
Lateral Flow

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of lateral testing, which must be user-friendly and precise for various applications. Adhesives play a crucial role by bonding to different membrane materials without interfering with test components. Lohmann offers tailored adhesive solutions to meet these needs, ensuring efficient production processes with minimal cleaning intervention required. Products are available in sheet or roll form laminated to a variety of backing cards.
