Top 5 Reasons Choosing Aptamers in Lateral Flow Assays

Despite the fact that aptamers were first described in 1990, they have not been extensively exploited in one of the most common bioassay formats – the lateral flow device. Nevertheless, aptamers are receiving increasing attention in lateral flow applications due to a number of important potential performance advantages. This application note provides an overview of the key benefits of utilizing aptamers in lateral flow assays.
