In a recent review published in Nature Reviews Bioengineering, researchers assessed the changing landscape of lateral flow tests (LFTs), and the development of next-generation LFTs based on lessons ...

Only a few years ago the benefits of lateral flow diagnostic tests weren’t widely understood outside of scientific circles. The reason most people came into contact with the technology was through the ...

High demand for lateral flow tests has resulted in supply issues, with many people unable to get their hands on the kits in recent days and pharmacies warning of “huge problems” with kit deliveries.

A recent study published on the medRxiv* preprint server discusses the role of lateral flow device (LFD) testing in potentially improving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) isolation policies. Study: ...

A study led by Queen Mary University of London and University of Oxford has found that lateral flow tests detect Covid-19 with similar accuracy to laboratory-based PCR tests, providing they are used ...

A Covid-19 lateral flow test showing a negative result. Routine testing to identify those infected followed by efficient contact tracing, and supported isolation is still the most effective public ...

The United Kingdom government plans to implement mass scale population testing for SARS-CoV-2 infection using Lateral Flow Devices (LFDs), yet the devices' sensitivity is unknown. A study published in ...

Scientists and public health experts built the COVID-19 pandemic response on years of experience navigating infectious disease outbreaks. Although lateral flow immunoassays have been central to ...

Health officials are reportedly set to bring an end to free COVID lateral flow tests this summer. An exact date for the end of the free tests has not been confirmed by the government, though a new ...

Lateral flow assays, also called immunochromatographic assays, identify or measure biomolecules in intricate samples like blood, saliva, urine, or other fluids to diagnose numerous medical conditions.

After prime minister Boris Johnson declared an “omicron emergency” on Sunday night, as the new variant of Covid-19 continues to spread rapidly, people have rushed to order lateral flow tests online.
