Reduced graphene oxide electrodes meet lateral flow assays: A promising path to advanced point-of-care diagnostics

Research in electrochemical detection in lateral flow assays (LFAs) has gained significant momentum in recent years. The primary impetus for this surge in interest is the pursuit of achieving lower limits of detection, especially given that LFAs are the most widely employed point-of-care biosensors. Conventionally, the strategy for merging electrochemistry and LFAs has centered on the superposition of screen-printed electrodes onto nitrocellulose substrates during LFA fabrication. Nevertheless, this approach poses substantial limitations regarding scalability. In response, we have developed a novel method for the complete integration of reduced graphene oxide (rGO) electrodes into LFA strips. We employed a CO
