Lateral-Flow Dipstick (LFD)
A lateral-flow dipstick (short: LFD) is a detection platform based on the lateral-flow principle. This is capillary forces move a liquid along the surface (= lateral) of a membrane.
Neither use nor read-out of a LFDs require a device: the liquid transport is done by capillary forces and the read-out is possible by the human eye. Expensive detection technique is not required.
Nucleic Acid Lateral-Flow (NALF)
NALF is an abbreviation for "Nucleic Acid Lateral-Flow", which describes technologies detecting molecular amplification products on a lateral-flow strip.
AMODIA offers several variations of lateral-flow strips, which differ in the number of amplification products detectable in parallel.
