Driving force for rapid diagnostic test

Lateral flow assays provide rapid diagnosis for a wide variety of medical conditions.

The growing range of rapid tests offers incredible advantages: tests can be performed by patients in resource-limited settings, the diagnosis is obtained within minutes, results are highly reliable and the cost is affordable.

Main fields of application include:

Clinical Diagnosis

Worldwide demand for decentralized availability of diagnostic tests is increasing as the potential for pathogen exposure and diseases are always present. Because of their ease of use and portability, LFA testing are used in multiple diagnostic industries and clinical testing scenarios. By providing a realtime result, time is saved compared to a laboratory test or is a helpful tool to direct further laboratory testing in hospitals. At home, the most widely used LFA tests are for pregnancy and ovulation, infectious diseases, cholesterol, and urine analysis strips. They offer flexibility for individuals who do not wish to be tested in public health settings. Moreover, with the development of oral fluids based testing, LFA use becomes convenient to patients due to the noninvasive nature of the specimen collection.

Veterinary Diagnosis

Lateral Flow Assays are widely used within the animal health industry across both household pets and livestock markets for a variety of medical conditions e.g. equine pregnancy, bovine pregnancy, fertility and infectious disease testing. This technology, with high sensitivity and specificity, is an essential tool in identifying pathogens as part of veterinary diagnostics. Early detection, management and control of diseases facilitate improvements in the well-being of animals and increase the understanding of the impact of animal health on the food chain and human health.

Food & Beverage Testing

Safety of food has always been a priority for food and beverage manufacturers. However, during the past three years, safety issues have led to even more stringent legislation in food safety requirements to ensure food safety for consumer protection. In this context, there is a growing demand from food companies for quicker testing to release finished goods more quickly and thus reduce inventories. LFA technology has come up with many advantages like reliability and short assay times and allows for reproducible toxin tests and detection of foodborne pathogens in every segment of the food production industry.

Environmental Safety & Water Testing

As potential contamination can be of major concern for public health, the environmental testing market is driven by increasing regulations to protect the environment with an active participation of regulatory agencies and governments. In this context, there is an increasing need for cost- and timeeffective technics performed primarily for spot checks. LFA are one of the emergent and popularly used rapid technologies developed for detecting diverse kinds of analytes including heavy metals, organic compounds contaminating enzymes in manufacturing plants as well as Legionella in air conditioning and water systems.
