Lateral Flow Assays: From Concept to Manufacture

As lateral flow technologies are pushed ever harder to deliver greater end-user benefits, practitioners need to keep up to date. This latest practical workshop to be delivered by Biodot, GE and Forsite brings the development and manufacture of quantitative assays to life. It is the ‘must attend’ event of the year for all those responsible for development and manufacture of lateral flow immunoassays.

Delivered through a series of lectures and practical workshops, topics covered will provide delegates with a comprehensive view of the assay development process.

Materials and reagents for assay development

• Selection of components to ensure optimum performance

Optimization for improved performance

• Achieving more from your assays without introducing complexity

Assay production and assembly

• Insights into the equipment required for high quality assays

Technologies for quantification of assay results

• An introduction to quantitative assays and methods of capturing the results

Scale-up for manufacture

• Overcoming the challenges of moving from lab-scale to in-line production

Keynote presentation on lateral flow markets and technologies

• Where are the markets for lateral flow assays and what may the future hold?

Trouble-shooting clinic sessions

• An opportunity to ask the experts questions about lateral flow assays and solve development challenges you are facing

Step-by-step practical sessions to make a quantitative lateral flow test
