Cover tapes are required for dipsticks to maintain good contact between the membrane, the sample pad, and the sink pad. These also prevent evaporation of reagents besides offering mechanical strength to delicate test components.
mdi cover tapes use special adhesives which are non-reactive and non-migrating, and therefore do not interfere with the nitrocellulose membrane characteristics to affect its flow properties.
