Expedeon Universal Lateral Flow Assay Kit

For the fast and easy development of customised lateral flow assays, Expedeon’s Universal Lateral Flow Assay (LFA) Kit is designed to enable the easy development of customised sandwich lateral flow assays.

The advantage of the kit is its adaptability to any pair of capture and detection antibodies, which allows the detection of any type of analyte without the need to spray down capture antibodies on the test strip — a labour-intensive process that consumes large amounts of expensive antibody reagent. The antigen just needs to contain at least two antigenic sites for the binding of the capture and detection antibodies.

The kit combines Expedeon’s easy-to-use Lightning-Link Antibody Labeling Kits and InnovaCoat GOLD Nanoparticle Conjugation technologies with an immunochromatographic test performed on Universal LFA strips. The capture antibody is conjugated to Lightning-Link Ulfa-Tag while the detection antibody is conjugated to 40 nm InnovaCoat GOLD, both of which require only 30 s to set up. This makes the kit quick and easy to use.

The assay is compatible with biological samples, so there are no false negative results. Qualitative and quantitative analysis are made possible using the supplied scoring card or an LFA reader respectively. No specialised equipment is necessary.
