Fluorescent Universal Lateral Flow Assay Kit (R-Phycoerythrin)

Fluorescent Universal Lateral Flow Assay Kits are a convenient ready-to-use kit for quick and cost-effective development of a fluorescent lateral flow dipstick assay for detection of DNA and RNA products.

Fluorescent lateral flow assays can be 2-100 fold more sensitive that gold based lateral flow tests.

Formats (excitation 566, 575nm emission) Streptavidin conjugate pad):

• • Detectable using a black light such as a black light UV flashlight or fluorescent lateral flow reader.
• • Detection of nucleic Acid (DNA or RNA) requires the use of a biotin and FAM-labelled primer during amplification. 
• • Test line: anti-FITC/FAM
• • Control Line: Biotin
• • Multiplex detection of nucleic Acid (DNA or RNA) requires the use of a biotin, FAM and Dig labelled primers during amplification.:
• • Test Line #1: anti FITC/FAM, Line #2: anti-Dig, Line #3 Biotin.

For example, this product can be configured with alternative/custom streptavidin fluorescent particles.

Kit Components 

• 50 -4.5mm Fluorescent Lateral Flow Dipsticks
• 10 mL Sample assay running buffer

Features & Benefits

• Can be used for development of a lateral flow assay for detection of a variety of different molecules such as amplified DNA products from PCR, LAMP and RPA reactions.
• No need to stripe capture antibodies
• No expensive equipment required (Black Light)
• Cost-effective way to screen for further downstream lateral flow assay development.
