It combines the principle of thin-layer chromatography<\/a> with antibody-based detection (colorimetric, enzymatic or fluorescence). An LFA is the basis for cost-effective, highly sensitive and reliable detection of a wide range of analytes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAs a point-of-care test (POCT), lateral flow assays find multiple applications e.g. in immunodiagnostics or in the analysis of environmental and food samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nReliable detection of various samples with high sensitivity<\/h2>\n\n\n\nImunoassays can detect the analytes of interest down to the nanogram range, in some cases even the picogram range. Qualitative and quantitative detection is possible from a wide variety of biological samples with complex compositions without pretreatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe develop fast but highly specific test systems with colorimetric, fluorescence or chemiluminescence-based readout for any parameter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nFrom feasibility to production<\/h2>\n\n\n\nWe develop LFAs from feasibility to small series or preparation for production in large and mass series, which we realize with our long-standing partner. These immunoassays can be used to diagnostically detect a wide variety of analytes in complex sample matrices. Highly specific and affine monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are required for reliable selective binding of the analyte in a liquid phase or tissue sample.
