From Pregnancy to Pathogens: Boosting Lateral Flow Assays Sensitivity with a Hydrogel Reaction Trap (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 27/2024)
Hydrogel Reaction Trap The cover image of the article 2400341 by Kwanwoo Shin and co-workers showcases a simple, cost-effective method to enhance the sensitivity of lateral flow assay (LFA) kits. By using a drop-casting process to apply a hydrogel reaction trap, the flow rate and reaction time are optimized, significantly boosting diagnostic performance. This method can increase the sensitivity of commercial LFA kits by up to sevenfold.
