Lateral Flow Assays (LFAs) are widely used in rapid diagnostics, to provide easy, cost-effective, and reliable results within minutes without any need for a specialised device. The tests are commonly used from early pregnancy detection, infectious disease testing, to food safety and veterinary diagnostics. There are manufactured billions of lateral flow (rapid) tests yearly. There are spots or lines precisely deposited, usually onto nitrocellulose membranes or paper. Dispensing technology enables highly accurate, non-contact deposition of spots and lines in picoliter-, nanoliter-, and microliter volumes. The combination of Spot on the Fly dispensing, QC on the Fly monitoring and multichannel dispensing plays the key role in fast, reliable and highly effective manufacturing process in modern lateral flow-based in vitro diagnostics (IVD). Lateral Flow Device (LFD) Application Highlights: - Precision deposition (microdispensing) of reagents and biomolecules onto NC-membranes for rapid IVD diagnostics. - High-throughput manufacturing of Lateral Flow devices with the highest reproducibility in line and spot (micro)dispensing - Multichannel microdispensing and real-time process monitoring for reliable Lateral Flow Device (LFD/ LFA) production. These Lateral Flow Device tests are commonly used for: Human Diagnostics (Pregnancy testing, Infectious disease testing, Cancer detection, Genetic testing, Allergy testing); Food & Environmental Testing (Food Allergen Diagnostics, Food safety testing, Environmental testing, Water safety testing, Heavy metal (Cadmium) detection); Veterinary Diagnostics & Research (Veterinary Diagnostics, Pathogen detection)
