Abstract

Rapid tests are essential tools for monitoring and containing the COVID-19 pandemic. Lateral flow assays (LFAs) have been introduced for the point-of-care COVID-19 diagnosis, using paper-based devices, and widely used for detecting antigen or antibody related to COVID-19. This book chapter includes a brief overview of the LFAs for rapid test of COVID-19, with focus on nanomaterials for bioconjugation, material selection, human sampling, antibody and antigen tests, viral nucleic acid detection, advantages, limitations, and future perspective.
