Lateral Flow Assays for Rapid Point-Of-Care Testing: Recent Advances, Emerging Trends, and Future Direction

Seema Nara

The emergence and re-emergence of new infectious diseases places emphasis on the need for greater investment in rapid healthcare diagnostic solutions. As a result, lateral flow immunoassay technology is quickly evolving with new inventions. Lateral Flow Assay for Rapid Point-of-Care Testing covers today's most significant advancements, emerging trends, and future directions linked with this technology. The book begins with a review of the format, flow, and design of old-generation lateral flow assays and the challenges impeding performance before moving into innovation in materials for rapid test strips, advances in manipulating sample flow, and the latest developments in molecular imprinting and bioconjugation techniques. Subsequent sections cover various biorecognition elements and review signal amplification as well as quantification trends. Final chapters delve into recent applications for infectious diseases detection, monitoring antibiotic resistance, multiplex detection of analytes, as well as future directions leading to the next generation of healthcare. Academicians, researchers, industrialists, and device manufacturers linked to the development of rapid and affordable point-of-care immunodiagnostics will find value in this resource.
