In this chapter, the key components of a lateral-flow system will be discussed and key advances described that facilitate higher performance in field-based applications in any market space, from veterinary infectious disease testing to hormone and biomarker testing in animals and equally to human diagnostic, environmental, and biodefense applications of the technology. Some key principles of designing these devices for ease of use in field environments using user-centric design principles will also be discussed.
