Test Strips, Papers & Readers
Test strips are a simple, effective, and low-cost analytical tool used for the rapid detection of an analyte in the field or on-site. A test strip coated with a chemical that reacts with the analyte is either dipped in the sample solution or the sample is loaded onto the test strip. The use of test strips for in-process detection is advantageous due to the ease of use and the high specificity offered by them. The results of test strips are either based on visual observation or the quantitative analysis using digital readers.
