Abstract:

Immunochromatographic strip has been popularly used in clinical diagnosis and other areas because of its ease
operation, less time-consuming, stable results, relative inexpensiveness and applicability for in situ and domestic testing. As food
safety incidents have occurred frequently in recent years, this technology has been widely used in rapid food safety testing. In this
paper, we overview immunochromatographic strip technology and its recent applications, and discuss its future prospects. We
expect that this review will provide useful references for the future development and application of this technology.
