Using the lateral flow immunodiagnostic technology commonly found in simple pregnancy tests, the dipstick or swab-based system is able to detect even the faintest traces of target substances on any surface, providing accurate results in a fraction of the time of some common detection techniques. Crucially, the technology – developed within the SALIANT project – is also as intuitive and simple to use as a pregnancy test, enabling tests to be carried out and understood by people without specialised training.
