WHAT IS THE ADVANCED LATERAL FLOW COURSE? This three-day lateral flow seminar is aimed at developers and manufacturers of rapid diagnostic tests and their associated products. During this seminar, some of the most experienced professionals in the diagnostics industry will guide you through the steps of producing and commercializing a point of care diagnostic device.
Together, we will address a variety of questions including:
- What is the current state of the art in lateral flow immunoassays?
- Where do these rapid diagnostic tests fit in various application areas?
- What are lateral flow tests really capable of?
- What does the future look like for this point of care technology?
On the final day of the ALFC, you will leave with a better understanding of how to create practical solutions for complex problems.
