Lateral flow assays, also called immunochromatographic assays, identify or measure biomolecules in intricate samples like blood, saliva, urine, or other fluids to diagnose numerous medical conditions.

In a recent review published in Nature Reviews Bioengineering, researchers assessed the changing landscape of lateral flow tests (LFTs), and the development of next-generation LFTs based on lessons ...

In our best practices blog, we explore how lateral flow assay design affects test performance. Read on to gain a deeper understanding of the development process, enabling you to streamline the ...

Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and rapid (antigen) tests for COVID-19 both involve taking a swab. Results for a PCR test take longer, as it needs to go to a laboratory. It is more costly but tends to ...

In this interview, News-Medical talks to Andre Alfaro from nanoComposix (now a Fortis Life Sciences Company) about the possibilities lateral flow assays offer in both the present and potential ...
