Lateral Flow Assays: From Bench to Market provides a detailed understanding of lateral flow assays (LFAs), the technology behind them, and their potential uses. The book opens with a discussion of the key elements of LFAs before covering a range of different LFA types, including aptamer-based and SERS-based LFAs. Applications across the biosciences and beyond are explored, such as virus detection, including Covid-19, bacteria detection, hormonal detection, and cancer biomarkers. LFAs for the detection of narcotics, environmental pollutants, food additives, allergens, toxins, and metabolites are also explored. The book then discusses commercialization aspects of LFAs before looking to future developments.

This book offers a complete overview of these biosensors and is an ideal reference for researchers and lab technicians across the biomedical sciences who work with these devices. It is also relevant to researchers and practitioners in food chemistry, the environmental industry, and pharmaceutical companies, in addition to those involved in the development of lateral flow devices.

Explores the use of lateral flow assays in a range of biomedical areas, including viral and bacterial detection, hormonal change, and disease biomarkers
Considers the application of lateral flow assays in other fields, such as the detection of narcotics, environmental pollutants, and food analysis
Studies nanoparticle utilization and their role in lateral flow assays
Presents future prospects for lateral flow assays

Prof. Mustafa Kemal Sezgint�rk is a Professor in the Bioengineering Department at �anakkale Onsekiz Mart University. His research interests lie in the area of biochemistry, biosensors, lateral flow assays, cancer biomarkers, electrochemistry, and enzymology. Professor Sezgint�rk has more than 180 publications. Four different Lateral Flow Assay systems developed by his team, focused on both novel control line strategies and diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 antigens, have also been patented. Another important achievement is the publication of the first extended and updated book on the field of commercial biosensors, edited by Sezgint�rk (Commercial Biosensors and Their Applications: Clinical, Food, and Beyond, Elsevier, 2020). Dr. Sezgint�rk has been associate editor-in-chief of the Turkish Journal of Chemistry (SCI-Expanded) for four years. Besides, he is also on the editorial board of these prestigious journals: Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis Open (Elsevier), Biosensors and Bioelectronics:X (Elsevier), International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry (Taylor & Francis), Essential Chem (Taylor & Francis). Professor Sezgint�rk also successfully coordinated several scientific projects. In 2016, he won the Award for Outstanding Young Scientist (Turkish Academy of Sciences-GEBİP), a prestigious scientific award.
