Description
Summary:According to George Whitesides of Harvard University, "the basic lateral flow immunoassay format is industry standard, but typically not for saliva (primarily because the concentration of analytes in saliva is very variable, since the volume of saliva depends on state of hydration, hunger, et cetera)." "According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, dengue is a leading cause of death and illness in tropical and subtropical countries," says Ying.
