How does a lateral flow test work? This animation from i-Sense demonstrates how lateral flow tests can test for more diseases than just COVID-19, and are an easy way to get results fast. Through the binding of antigens to antibodies on the test membrane, nanoparticles give a clear result in less than 30-minutes. By coupling this with mobile technologies, data can be collected very quickly to combat disease outbreaks on a global scale. i-Sense is an EPSRC-funded Interdisciplinary Research Collabo
