Info
What is Lateral Flow Testing?
Lateral flow tests (also known as rapid antigen tests) are quick, portable diagnostic tests that can detect the presence of specific proteins or antibodies in a sample. They provide results within minutes, making them ideal for point-of-care testing.
These tests work by applying a sample (such as a nasal swab or saliva) to a test strip. If the target substance is present, it produces a visible line on the strip, indicating a positive result.
