Lateral Flow Assays: From Bench to Market provides a detailed understanding of lateral flow assays (LFAs), the technology behind them, and their potential uses. The book opens with a discussion of the key elements of LFAs before covering a range of different LFA types, including aptamer-based and SERS-based LFAs. Applications across the biosciences and beyond are explored, such as virus detection, including Covid-19, bacteria detection, hormonal detection, and cancer biomarkers. LFAs for the detection of narcotics, environmental pollutants, food additives, allergens, toxins, and metabolites are also explored. The book then discusses commercialization aspects of LFAs before looking to future developments.This book offers a complete overview of these biosensors and is an ideal reference for researchers and lab technicians across the biomedical sciences who work with these devices. It is also relevant to researchers and practitioners in food chemistry, the environmental industry, and pharmaceutical companies, in addition to those involved in the development of lateral flow devices. - Explores the use of lateral flow assays in a range of biomedical areas, including viral and bacterial detection, hormonal change, and disease biomarkers - Considers the application of lateral flow assays in other fields, such as the detection of narcotics, environmental pollutants, and food analysis - Studies nanoparticle utilization and their role in lateral flow assays - Presents future prospects for lateral flow assays
