Surfactants Selection Guide for Lateral Flow Assays
Effect of different surfactants on the performance of UniSart® diagnostic membranes demonstrated by adding different surfactants (surface active agent) during the pre-treatment of sample pads.
Lateral flow assays (LFA) are a type of immunographic assay widely used for the rapid detection of pathogens, toxins, environmental contaminants, etc. Their ease of use and accuracy make these assays well suited for the point-of-care market.
For purposes of this study, three lateral flow tests were selected. The effects of surfactants on test performance were demonstrated by adding different surfactants (surface active agent) during the pre-treatment of sample pads.
