Evolving Applications of Lateral Flow Assays Boost Asia Pacific Lateral Flow Assay Market

Lateral flow assays are widely used for infectious disease diagnosis, heart disease diagnosis, and veterinary applications. However, the scope of their applications has expanded in recent years. Behavioral health, saliva-based diagnostics, biological warfare (detection of Bacillus anthracis), environmental testing (detection of contaminating enzymes in production facilities), agriculture (detection of genetically modified organisms and quality control of plants), food microbiology (Detection of E. coli O157, Salmonella, Listeria, and other food spoilage bacteria) have emerged as new application areas for lateral flow assays.

Atlas-Link Biotech (Beijing) provides FASPIT Antigen Saliva Test Kit. NOVA Test SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Saliva Test Kit (Colloidal Gold Immunochromatography) is a lateral flow assay that uses the double-antibody sandwich method to detect the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein from saliva specimens from patients who are suspected of SARS-CoV-2 by a healthcare provider. Only certified laboratories that meet the requirements for performing moderate, high, or waived complexity tests can perform such saliva-based tests. The SARS-CoV-2 antigen saliva test kits provide preliminary test results, with negative results that don't preclude SARS-CoV-2 infection.
