Recent advancements in structural improvements of lateral flow assays towards point-of-care testing
2019
Abstract Lateral flow assays (LFAs) provide some of the most attractive point-of-care instruments for broad applications with simple, rapid, user-friendly, and cost-effective characteristics. However, these technologies suffer from low sensitivity, the poor limit of detection, and just qualitative or semi-quantitative results that restrict their practical applications. Extensive research has been reported in this area involving sensitivity enhancement, multiplex analysis, the implementation for broad analytes, and development of novel electronic readers for quantitative analysis. This review presents recently reported works for the structural improvements of LFAs considering antibody immobi…
Lateral flow assays towards point-of-care cancer detection: A review of current progress and future trends
2020
Abstract Cancer is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. However, its early non-invasive detection via quantification of appropriate biomarkers can significantly reduce mortality, enhance survival, and save treatment costs. Lateral flow test strips (LFTS) are nowadays considered as the most attractive point-of-care devices for healthcare applications. However, the quantification of cancer biomarkers in body fluids suffers from some challenges including i) the necessity for multiplex analysis, ii) the development of sensitive detection systems, iii) to overcome the analysis of complex samples, at the same time, it should keep the quality assurance criteria for an accur…
