Lateral Flow Test Reader

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 03 Aug 2004
A new test reader provides an easy way to objectively read, store, and analyze results of lateral flow tests for Listeria, Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella, genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and allergens in food.

Called the AccuScan System, the reader consists of a lateral flow test reader combined with a personal data assistant (PDA) and intuitive data-management computer software. More...
After inserting a test device into the activated reader, the instrument takes a digital photo of the test strip's results. The reader then interprets the test's results, and if a line is detected, displays a line weight score. This process eliminates the subjectivity associated with lateral flow test interpretation, and provides an objective, traceable record of the test result. Windows-based software allows users to analyze test data and view actual images of the lateral flow strips captured during testing. The reader is the product of Neogen Corp. (Lansing, MI, USA; www.neogen.com).

"Similar to home pregnancy tests, lateral flow tests are extremely popular in the food industry because they are very quick and easy to use,” said Ed Bradley, vice president of food safety sales and marketing at Neogen. "Quick and easy test results are good. But permanent, traceable results are often necessary.”
