Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to a method and device to improve the detection accuracy and performance for diagnosing dental disorders or diseases by improving the sensitivity of the Lateral-Flow Immunoassay (LFA). The present method and device are related to removing the protein interference (impurities) from sample and using aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) embedded entirely within a porous material, allowing spontaneous phase separation and concentration, for detection using the Lateral-Flow Immunoassay (LFA). The present invention also provides a platform technology for screening different types of specimens with increased sensitivity, and screening antibodies for optimal detection in various types of samples.
