ABSTRACT
Lateral flow chromatography is a new rapid detection and sensing technology,has the advantages of low cost,convenient to use and rapid detection.This method can better meet the requirements of quality and safety surveillance and on-site rapid screening by comparing with the physical and chemical detection methods which are expensive,complicated to operate and require high detection environment.In this paper,the lateral flow chromatography strips were introduced including the test methods,the classification of marking materials and their practical applications in various fields.The researches on the application of lateral flow chromatography strips in biological and food safety testing was reviewed including the advantages and the current research status.The existing bottlenecks and the future development direction were also analyzed.These can provide insight for the further application and in-depth research of strip rapid detection technologies.
