Quality control of lateral flow test strips by scanning densitometry analysis (e.g. COVID-19)

Many diseases, caused by viruses or other pathogens, can be detected by lateral flow (immunochromatographic) test strips as soon as enough antibodies have been produced by the immune system of the person to be tested. In this application note, CAMAG shows a densitometric-assisted evaluation of lateral flow test strips for the purpose of quality control.
