BENEFITS |
|
Rapid test optimization: Antibody-based sandwich/direct/ |
· Our team can perform all optimization of passive vs. covalent conjugates of your antibodies to determine which method is most suitable for your assay. · Buffers, membrane striping conditions etc. can be optimized to give you the best possible sensitivity with the lowest background. · Qualitative yes/no, semi-quantitative and quantitative (with band intensity reader) final assay formats available · Phase-based projects: · An initial prototype will be generated to check viability of the antibodies in an LF assay format. · Further optimization/assistance towards commercialization available in subsequent phases |
|
Rapid test optimization: Aptamer/ |
· Same services available as for antibody-based lateral flow, but with our unique aptamer knowledge and techniques · Services also available combining antibodies and aptamers as detection molecules |
|
Custom passive antibody/protein nanoparticle conjugation |
· Allow our team of experts to perform laborious pH and protein loading experiments for you. · We can determine which conditions yield the most stable and LF functional conjugate |
|
Custom covalent antibody/protein nanoparticle conjugation |
· Our team will determine which linking chemistry best suits your antibody/protein. · We can assess the conjugate for LF functionality and sensitivity |
|
Aptamer/ |
· Our team can perform laborious salt aging methods for you along with modern OligoREADY, AptamerREADY and covalent methods. · We can create multiple variations to determine which best suits your end usage |
Lateral Flow Assay Development
CytoGroup offers flexible solutions for development and manufacturing of lateral flow assays based on our noble-metal nanoparticles (standard gold nanoparticles and our unique gold nanourchins).
CytoGroup has over 15 years of experience in rapid test development. Combining our technical expertise with our high-quality nanoparticles, we can simplify your development process to help produce the sensitive assay you require for your unique application. Well-versed in both standard antibody-based as well as cutting-edge aptamer/oligonucleotide-based assays, we offer services ranging from custom nanoparticle conjugation to whole lateral flow (LF) assay optimization.
