Lateral flow assays (LFA) are simple diagnostic tools that can be used to detect a variety of biomolecules that include biomarkers, pathogens, and environmental contaminants. Many industries use LFAs as they are typically rapid assay devices that are especially useful as point-of-care diagnostic devices and as a public health tool that can be sold to users directly. Sartorius is globally recognized a as leading supplier of biotherapeutics and in vitro diagnostics (IVD) solutions.

Antibodies play a crucial role in the development of LFAs. The quality attributes of these antibodies including the understanding of how they interact with target antigens are essential for the development and optimization of LFAs. The Octet® system is a powerful label-free and easy-to-use high-throughput solution for analyzing biomolecular interactions. In the product development of LFAs, the Octet® system, a Sartorius solution, can be used to investigate antibody-antigen interactions, to perform assay development and optimization and as a reagents quality control tool.
