Advanced trap lateral flow immunoassay sensor for the detection of cortisol in human bodily fluids
Abstract Paper-based biosensors based on lateral flow immunoassay (LFI) are promising candidates for POC diagnosis because of their ease of use and rapid target detection. However, the low sensitivity of LFI limits its application, and signal amplification has been used in numerous studies to increa...
