Lateral flow assays

Features & Capabilities

GoStix Plus assays are life science research tools designed for rapid quantification of diverse analytes using a simple, lateral flow-based method. 10 minutes after applying your sample, a band will appear in the window of the GoStix Plus cassette at an intensity that correlates with the amount of analyte present. The cassette is then scanned using a smartphone camera or equivalent mobile device running the GoStix Plus app, which will then quantify the level of analyte in the sample based on the intensity of the band.

User Reviews

Overall, GoStix Plus is praised for being a convenient, cutting-edge tool that lets users quantify Lenti without a standard curve, with hardware that feels like a simple at-home test. However, repeated issues undermine value: barcode/lot-number scanning and manual-entry failures; camera focus problems on newer iPhones; frequent app crashes; inconsistent readings; and safety concerns about handling virus on a phone plus slow support. The app shows potential but usability, reliability, and safety must improve for broader adoption.

Pros

Convenient and cutting-edge for GoStix users.
Enables Lenti quantification without a standard curve.
Hardware/process feels simple, like an at-home test.
Viewed as essential by some users.

Cons

Barcode/lot-number scanning and manual-entry recognition failures.
Camera focus problems on newer iPhones hindering scanning.
Frequent crashes and instability on iOS.
Inconsistent or inaccurate readings.
Safety concerns about handling virus on a phone and slow/unresponsive support.

Recent reviews

QR (barcode??) scanning doesn’t work. Camera can’t focus on the stick so close. Add a zoom function or make it compatible with newer iphones? Had to just guesstimate by eye…also whole concept is slightly unsafe…

When I updated my phone to the latest IOS, I can no longer focus on the test.

literally doesn’t work. any time you enter the lot number it fails, unable to access any features. useless app, the 5 star reviews are probably left by the employees.
