Antibody pair screening and selection is a critical step in lateral flow rapid tests. Test success depends on the quality and specificity of the antibody pair used. The antibody pair consists of a capture antibody and a detection antibody, which work together to capture and detect the target molecule, respectively.
The capture antibody is immobilized on the test strip and binds to the target molecule in the sample. The detection antibody is conjugated with a label, such as gold nanoparticles, and attaches to the captured target molecule, producing a visible signal. The antibody pair must be carefully selected to ensure that they bind specifically to the target molecule and do not cross-react with other molecules in the sample.
Antibody pair screening and selection involves testing multiple pairs of antibodies for their specificity and sensitivity to the target molecule. The screening process helps to identify the most effective antibody pairs that produce accurate and reliable results.
