This review looks at analytical capabilities and composition of portable equipment based on lateral flow immunoassay for rapid indication of human pathogenic bacteria, viruses and toxins which was developed by the State Research Institute of Biological Instrumentation under the auspices of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency of Russia. The review presents technical characteristics and composition of portable test kits UIHE-1 designed for taking monoanalytical and multi-analytical lateral flow immunoassay on pathogenic microorganisms and toxins in washes from environmental objects surfaces and in culture media; it also describes kits EkB and EkB-01 for analysis of biological aerosol samplers contents. Information is given on the analytical properties of luminescence lateral flow immunoassay kit ULI-1, an on the experimental prototype of fluorimeter-reflectometer "Zondazh". The technical characteristics of indication kits were compared with those of foreign origin, areas for improvement of portable equipment based on lateral flow immunoassay were indicated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
