Overcoming the Challenges that Delay Development of Your Lateral Flow Assay

Novice and expert in vitro diagnostics (IVD) manufacturers agree that developing, optimizing, and launching a lateral flow assay (LFA) test is never routine nor easy. Although the plethora of test strips that popped up during the COVID-19 pandemic might give the illusion these assays are simple, developers know—or soon learn—that development of those streamlined plastic cassettes poses key technical challenges that can delay assay launches.
