Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a rapid test strip used to detect the presence or absence of a target analyte in a sample. These strips are versatile and cost-effective diagnostic tools with many potential applications in disease diagnosis, healthcare, food safety, environmental monitoring, and other areas. To design these rapid detection strips, it is necessary to acquire sufficient information about their components, development and optimization, as well as the basic principles of their assay's mechanism. In this article, the essence and extensive use of immunoassay-based rapid strip test in terms of theory and practical applications will be discussed. In addition, the components of the detection strip test and the advantages of its use were reviewed with the consideration of various strategies to improve the performance of LFIA, as well as the prospects for their development and improvement with the help of expanding internet tools, big data analysis, and artificial intelligence.
