Lateral flow immunoassays, also called immunochromatography strips, are straightforward devices used to detect the absence or presence of a target analyte. Target analytes range from pathogens to ...

A recent study published on the medRxiv* preprint server discusses the role of lateral flow device (LFD) testing in potentially improving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) isolation policies. Study: ...

High demand for lateral flow tests has resulted in supply issues, with many people unable to get their hands on the kits in recent days and pharmacies warning of “huge problems” with kit deliveries.

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.

Not long ago, referring to a lateral flow test would have resulted in blank stares, even though they’re common diagnostic devices used in over-the-counter pregnancy tests, for example. But the ...

A Covid-19 lateral flow test showing a negative result. Routine testing to identify those infected followed by efficient contact tracing, and supported isolation is still the most effective public ...
