Lateral-flow assays (LFAs) provide a rapid and convenient method of detecting or measuring the concentration of an analyte in a sample. LFAs are widely used for point-of-care diagnostics. Most LFAs are immunoassays, which rely on the high affinity of antibodies for an analyte epitope to produce a signal.

When designing your own lateral-flow assay, there are several variables to consider, with the choice of detection reagents, assay materials, and manufacturing methods, all influencing the accuracy and reliability of your test.

Use our checklist to capture ten important considerations when developing your LFA; helping to provide you with a deeper insight into how to use lateral-flow assays to streamline your development process.
