Lateral Flow Tests

Small and large scale manufacturing of lateral flow test strips

Microcoat has the flexibility and capacity to realise manufacturing ranging from small scale prototyping and validation runs of a few thousand strips, all the way up to full scale manufacturing of millions of strips annually. We harbor instrumentation for batch and reel-to-reel production.

Microcoat not only offers contract manufacturing but also custom development and validation of lateral flow tests. Our experience with lateral flow tests includes applications for food safety, agricultural and environmental testing. Test strips are available in dipstick or cassette format. They are sold in bulk quantities or assembled to ready-to-use diagnostic kits with your brand.
