Lateral Flow Assay Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2017 - 2025

Albany, NY -- (SBWire) -- 04/25/2018 --Lateral flow assay is used to confirm the presence or absence of a target analyte such as pathogens or biomarkers in humans or animals. Lateral flow tests are commonly used in human health. Lateral flow immunoassay is also known as immunochromatographic assay or strip tests. Lateral flow assays are used in medical diagnostics either for home testing, point-of-care testing, or laboratory use. It is highly used for home pregnancy test. A lateral flow assay strip consists of sample pad, conjugate or reagent pad, reaction membrane, and wick or waste reservoir. Lateral flow tests are of different types, such as sandwich assay and competitive assay. Sandwich assay is a positive test represented by the presence of a colored line at the test line position. Competitive assay is a positive test represented by the absence of a colored line at the test line position. Both sandwich and competitive assays can be developed to include one or more test lines. For instance, nucleic acid lateral flow immunoassay PCRD is a multiplexed sandwich assay containing two test lines and one control line. Lateral flow assays utilize conjugated gold, carbon, or colored latex nanoparticles within the conjugate pad. Other labels include magnetic beads or colored polystyrene beads.
