Lateral flow assay, also known as lateral flow immunochromatographic assay, is a simple type of immunoassay for detection of analytes that relies on lateral flow of liquids through a porous membrane or strip. Lateral flow assays are commonly used in diagnostics and are suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT) in places such as doctor’s offices, hospital emergency rooms and patient homes. Lateral flow assays minimize complexity and allow for the detection of target analytes without any ... Read more
Lateral flow assays are simple devices used to detect the presence or absence of analytes in biological samples like urine, blood and saliva. They are popular among point-of-care testing due to the ease of use and delivery of results in minutes without any complex instrumentation.
