Considerations in the Development of Quantitative Lateral Flow Tests

Considerations in the Development of Quantitative Lateral Flow Tests Quantitative lateral flow tests (qLFTs) are an advanced form of traditional lateral flow assays (LFAs), designed not just to detect the presence of a target analyte (like a virus or biomarker), but to measure the intensity of the signal at the test line, which correlates with the concentration of the analyte. Although they require a much more detailed development and validation effort than qualitative tests, they are portable and easy to use, do not need lab infrastructure and provide quantitative data for better clinical decision-making. Join our webinar, hosted by Klaus Hochleitner, to learn how to minimize uncertainty and improve the accuracy of lateral-flow assay quantitation. In this webinar, you will: • Learn the differences between qualitative and quantitative lateral flow tests and their uses • Understand how sandwich and competitive tests can be developed in quantitative format • Review the factors to take care of in the development of quantitative lateral flow tests, including sample variability, reagents and reader systems and how to optimize each one for reliable results. Quantitative lateral flow tests (qLFTs) build on the simplicity of traditional assays by delivering measurable results that support stronger clinical decision-making. While developing and validating these tests requires more rigor than qualitative methods, they remain portable, easy to use and free from the need for laboratory infrastructure. This webinar, led by Klaus Hochleitner, will explore how to address common challenges in qLFT development and provide practical insights to help you enhance accuracy, minimize uncertainty and unlock the full potential of quantitative lateral flow technology.
