Lateral Flow Immunochromatographic Assay- In vitro diagnostics using colloidal gold
Outline • Introduction • Technology • Principle – How it works • Applications
Introduction Lateral flow test • Paper strip • In vitro diagnostics • Simple system • Fast system, results in 10-20 min • Detects presence/absence of target analyte • Limitless potential applications
Technology • Sample pad • Conjugate pad • Membrane • Test line and control line (immobilized antibodies) • Absorption pad
Technology • Colloidal gold antibody conjugate • Colloidal gold (10-50 nm in diameter) • Antibodies binds to target analyte • Accumulation of conjugates gives a red color visible for the naked eye in the given area
Principle – How it works Sample pad Conjugate pad Absorption pad Test zone Control zone Anti-analyte Anti-antibody Membrane Anti-analyte CGC
Principle – How it works • Diagnostic interpretation Control line Test line Positive test Negative test Invalid test
Applications • Limitless • Home diagnostics (e.g. pregnancy test) • Point of care diagnostics (e.g. HIV, malaria) • Laboratory
