Lateral Flow Assay Services
Bio-Techne is a leading provider of bio-reagents and analytical instrumentation and now provides lateral flow assay development services, including:
- Proof-of-concept assay development
- Assay reagent controls
- Strip design and optimization
- Test performance validation
- Test kit production and packaging
Bio-Techne has an extensive library of recombinant antigens and antibodies allowing for a compressed development cycle.
Custom LFA Development Services
- Antibody pair screening and selection
- Gold particle conjugation and nitrocellulose membrane stripping
- Plastic cassette fitting and foil bag packaging

- Assay procedure optimization
The process has three phases – proof-of-concept phase, development/optimization phase, scale-up and technical transfer phase.
Custom Assay Manufacturing Services
We work with you to identify your needs to give your reagents and components for your testing
Gold conjugates - A wide range of custom services for conjugating antibody, antigen, or DNA oligo to high quality gold nanoparticles through classical adsorption approach and/or covalent reaction. The antibody or antigen of interest can be provided or selected from Bio-Techne extensive list of paired antibodies, antigens, and other proteins.
Test strips or dipsticks - Bio-Techne offers custom stripping of antibody, antigen, or other capture agents to lateral flow nitrocellulose membrane and spraying and drying the gold conjugate pads, strip assembly and slitting into the strip or dipstick and packaging based on customer’s needs.
Assay run buffer development and bottling - blocker selection, interferant and non-specific binding.
