Choosing the right reagents for lateral flow immunoassays

In this application note, Jackson ImmunoResearch presents a suite of tools to facilitate the development and manufacture of accurate and sensitive lateral flow immunoassays for point of care (POC) use. Lateral Flow Immunoassays (LFIA) rapid tests are recognized as a powerful tool for point-of-care (POC) immunodiagnostics. They provide a format for the rapid detection and measurement of a variety of agents such as immunoglobulins (Igs) produced in response to infection or allergy, biomarkers such as human gonadotropin for pregnancy testing, food contaminants, substances generated by genetically modified crops, environmentally hazardous chemicals, and illicit drugs. LFIAs are a vital component in assessing health and safety for modern life.
