The Quantitative Detection of Cystatin-C in Patient Samples Using a Colorimetric Lateral Flow Immunoassay

A colloidal gold-based lateral flow immunoassay was developed for the rapid quantitative detection of Cystatin-C in serum and whole blood. This device has an assay time of 15 min, making it a convenient point-of-care diagnostic tool. The device has a quantification range spanning from 0.5 to 7.5 µg/...

description A colloidal gold-based lateral flow immunoassay was developed for the rapid quantitative detection of Cystatin-C in serum and whole blood. This device has an assay time of 15 min, making it a convenient point-of-care diagnostic tool. The device has a quantification range spanning from 0.5 to 7.5 µg/mL, with a lower limit of detection at 0.18 µg/mL. To validate its accuracy, the test was compared to a standard nephelometric immunoassay, and the results exhibited a robust linear correlation with an adjusted r<sup>2</sup> value of 0.95. Furthermore, the device demonstrates satisfactory levels of analytical performance in terms of precision, sensitivity, and interference, indicating its potential for precise Cystatin-C quantification, particularly in renal-failure patients. Notably, the Cystatin-C-LFA device also demonstrates satisfactory stability, as a 30-day accelerated stability study at 50 °C showed no change in the device performance, indicating a long shelf life for the product when stored at room temperature.
