| Abstract | |
|
The rapid immunochromatographic test strip, also called lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), has recently attracted considerable research attention in the past decade because of its advantages when applied to a wide variety of point-of-care (POC) tests. This paper reviewed recent advances on modeling the LFIA and summarized their advantages and limitations. It is worth mentioning that there is a growing research interest on the general modeling issue for the LFIA system. In order to optimize LFIA performance for the purpose of quantification, it is of great importance to develop a mathematical model that allows us to simulate dynamic characteristics and also find out the effects of various design parameters in a both rapid and inexpensive way. |
