Preferred Label : Lateral Flow Assay;
NCIt synonyms : LFA;
NCIt definition : A method for the detection of a target analyte from a sample placed onto a slot found
on one end of a testing device or strip. Capillary action, driven by a buffering liquid
either intrinsic to or added with the sample, draws the sample across zones within
the device containing molecules that specifically interact with the analyte. This
method is designed to visually confirm the presence or absence of the analyte, or
indicate a quantitative or semi-quantitative measurement of analyte levels within
minutes.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: A method for the detection of a target analyte from a sample placed onto a
slot found on one end of a testing device or strip. Capillary action, driven by a
buffering liquid, draws the sample across zones within the device containing molecules
that specifically interact with the analyte.;
