In many cases, assessing a patient before treatment can be challenging. We aim to provide assays and instruments which enable you to make an informed point-of-care diagnosis in minutes.
SureScreen Diagnostics’ lateral flow devices enable clinicians to support the timely diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of patients.
Lateral flow devices can facilitate early detection.
SureScreen’s Lateral flow devices (LFDs) provide quick and easy results. These devices have several benefits, making them valuable in various healthcare and non-healthcare applications.
LFDs are known for their speed in providing results. Tests can often be completed within minutes, making them particularly useful for situations where quick decisions are necessary.
Unlike some laboratory tests that may require specialised equipment, lateral flow devices often require minimal or no additional equipment, making them cost-effective and easy to implement. Lateral flow devices are well-suited for point-of-care testing, enabling healthcare providers to obtain quick results without the need for sending samples to a laboratory. This is particularly beneficial in emergency situations and in resource-limited environments.
SureScreen has developed a wide range of applications, including the detection of infectious diseases, pregnancy testing, drug testing, and cardiology markers. The versatility of LFDs makes them adaptable to various diagnostic needs.

A wide range of clinical applications
The versatility, simplicity, and rapid results of lateral flow devices make them suitable for a broad range of applications, contributing to their widespread adoption in various industries. Some of the notable applications include:
- Medical Diagnostics:
- Infectious Diseases: LFDs are commonly used for the rapid detection of infectious diseases, such as HIV, influenza, malaria, streptococcus, and COVID-19.
- Pregnancy Testing: LFDs are widely used for detecting pregnancy hormones (human chorionic gonadotropin or hCG) in urine, providing quick and convenient results.
- Cardiac Markers: LFDs can be employed to detect cardiac biomarkers, such as troponin, aiding in the diagnosis of heart-related conditions.
- Clinical Chemistry:
- Blood Glucose Monitoring: LFDs are utilised for point-of-care testing of blood glucose levels, allowing individuals, especially those with diabetes, to monitor their blood sugar levels easily.
- Drug Testing:
- Drug Testing: LFDs are employed for screening of drugs of abuse in urine or oral samples, providing quick results for substances like THC, opioids, cocaine, and amphetamines.
