Learn how lateral flow immunoassays (rapid tests) produce test results in minutes.


If you have ever asked the question, how does a lateral flow immunoassay work? this animation will answer your question. This animation takes a look inside a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), commonly known as a rapid test, and looks at the various components used to see how they interact with one another to produce rapid tests results.

We have chosen to explain how a multiplex sandwich immunoassay format works using a generic target sample. However, there are different immunoassay formats available.
