Lateral flow immunoassay

While the development of PCR testing was a reasonable first response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the development of Lateral flow immunoassays that can be rapidly produced, administered at POC, require little to no clinical guidance and deliver results in just a few minutes is the next step in the fight against SARS-CoV-2.

"Towards the goal of reducing melioidosis, this study will help clinicians in Sarawak to diagnose and understand the causes and risk factors for melioidosis. The data will help the clinicians to provide faster test results and better clinical care. The investigator's laboratory efforts will supplement available diagnostics by adding a new, easier-to-use test involving lateral flow immunoassay to rapidly detect "
