Lateral Flow Test Training: Hands-On Guidance for IVD Development and Manufacturing

In the fast-growing world of in vitro diagnostics (IVD), lateral flow assays (LFAs) have become a cornerstone for point-of-care testing. Their speed, simplicity, and versatility make them ideal for a wide range of applications—from infectious diseases to environmental monitoring and food safety. However, mastering LFA design and production requires more than theory. That’s where lateral flow test training becomes essential.

Whether you're launching a startup, working in a university lab, or scaling manufacturing, a structured, hands-on training program helps you avoid costly mistakes and gain expertise faster.

Why Hands-On Lateral Flow Training Matters

LFA development involves interdisciplinary knowledge—biochemistry, material science, engineering, and quality control. Missteps in membrane selection, reagent mixing, or equipment calibration can cause test failures or regulatory issues.

High-quality lateral flow test training solves this by:

• Providing real-world experience with production-line equipment
  
  
• Teaching raw material selection and reagent preparation
  
  
• Demonstrating assay optimization techniques from prototype to final product
  
  
• Enabling faster time-to-market with fewer iterations
  
  

Training That Scales With You

AntiTeck Life Sciences offers three tiered training options to match your goals:

1. Basic Lateral Flow Test Training (3 Days)

Ideal for beginners or small teams wanting a compact, impactful introduction. Covers fundamentals of colloidal gold-based tests, equipment operation, membrane handling, and buffer systems.

2. Custom Lateral Flow Test Training (15 Days)

A detailed, step-by-step program tailored to your development goals. Focuses on test optimization, raw material selection, and troubleshooting.

3. VIP Lateral Flow Test Training (30 Days)

The most comprehensive track, designed for teams ready to move from prototype to production. Includes hands-on sessions with advanced assay formats such as fluorescent microspheres and quantum dots.

Inside the Training: What You’ll Learn

Day 1: Mastering the Foundation

• Equipment overview: strip cutters, membrane laminators, cassettes
  
  
• Membrane types and characteristics (e.g., nitrocellulose NC membranes)
  
  
• Introduction to biological materials: buffers, BSA, surfactants (e.g., Tween)
  
  

Day 2: Building the System

• Equipment for quantitative lateral flow assays
  
  
• Pad material selection: sample, conjugate, absorbent, blood separation
  
  
• Understanding backing cards, tapes, and adhesion strategies
  
  

Day 3: Running a Complete Assay

• Synthesis of colloidal gold nanoparticles
  
  
• Labeling antibodies/antigens and preparing conjugate pads
  
  
• Reagent dispensing and lamination into a functioning test strip
  
  
• Transitioning from qualitative to quantitative assays (quantum dots, fluorescence)

Who Should Attend?

This program is ideal for:

• Startup founders entering the IVD industry
  
  
• University research groups building point-of-care test kits
