SARS-CoV2 Antigen Lateral Flow Assay Detection Device and Methods of Using the Same

Abstract:

Lateral flow assay (LFA) devices for detecting whether SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein is present in a sample are provided. Aspects of the LFA devices include: a sample receiving region; a conjugate region downstream from the sample receiving region that includes test particulate labels made up of label particles conjugated to first and second specific binding members that specifically bind to the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein; and a detection region downstream from the conjugate region which includes an immobilized capture specific binding member that specifically binds to the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein. Also provided are methods of using the LFA devices, as well as readers, systems and kits for use in the same.
