Analytical sensitivity limits for lateral flow immunoassays.
A plethora of literature describes the use of lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA). Only a fraction of that contains information about possible analytical sensitivity or limit of detection. Accordingly, we have undertaken a comprehensive survey of the literature in PubMed and present here that fraction that has information on limits of detection or analytical sensitivity. Further detail of the sear...
متن کاملSilane-dextran chemistry on lateral flow polymer chips for immunoassays.
The prognosis for patients suffering from cardiovascular and many other diseases can be substantially improved if diagnosed at an early stage. High performance diagnostic testing using disposable microfluidic chips can provide a platform for realizing this vision. Amic AB (Uppsala, Sweden) has developed a new microfluidic test chip for sandwich immunoassays fabricated by injection molding of th...
متن کاملSimple paper architecture modifications lead to enhanced sensitivity in nanoparticle based lateral flow immunoassays.
Lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA) are ideal biosensors to detect proteins, but their lack of sensitivity hinders their extensive use. We report a strategy that yields up to an 8-fold improvement in the sensitivity of a gold nanoparticles-based LFIA by changing the sizes of the pads. Theoretical flow simulations of the developed LFIA architectures are in accordance with the experimental results.
متن کاملAnalytical Tools to Improve Optimization Procedures for Lateral Flow Assays
Immunochromatographic or lateral flow assays (LFAs) are inexpensive, easy to use, point-of-care medical diagnostic tests that are found in arenas ranging from a doctor's office in Manhattan to a rural medical clinic in low resource settings. The simplicity in the LFA itself belies the complex task of optimization required to make the test sensitive, rapid and easy to use. Currently, the manufac...
متن کاملEnhancement of the detection limit for lateral flow immunoassays: evaluation and comparison of bioconjugates.
There is an increasing demand for convenient and accurate point-of-care tools that can detect and diagnose different stages of a disease in remote or impoverished settings. In recent years, lateral flow immunoassays (LFIA) have been indicated as a suitable medical diagnostic tool for these environments because they require little or no sample preparation, provide rapid and reliable results with...
