Abstract:
Bacterial and viral disease outbreaks have always
been a threat to global public health, making affordable,
rapid and accurate diagnostics highly important tools
to slow down the spread of pathogens and decrease the
mortality rate. In this quest, the development of costeffective and easy-to-use diagnostic devices that enable
rapid and accurate detection is essential to reduce the
time and costs associated with healthcare services.
Therefore, the development and the application of
Point-of-Care (POC) assays that overcome limitations
in regular lateral flow (LF) assays are essential for better
