Infographic: Adapting Lateral Flow Assays for Nucleic Acid Detection
Lateral flow assays are well-known for their ability to rapidly detect the presence or absence of proteins. Although easy to perform, its widespread adoption for other applications has been limited due to several constraints.
To increase test sensitivity and testing capacity researchers are now adapting LFA technology to detect RNA or DNA. The infographic provides an overview of:
- Protein versus nucleic acid LFAs
- Incorporating nanoparticles to develop robust probes for nucleic acid detection
- The uses of nucleic acid LFAs, including food safety testing, biomarker identification, and microbe detection
