Lateral flow succeeds when real-world constraints drive design: ease of use, ruggedness, and affordability. Few guests can speak to those tradeoffs from the bench, the exam room, and the factory. In this episode, Kellie LaRochelle, CEO of Imagene Technology, former medical laboratory scientist, and primary care physician assistant, joins DCN Dx’s Mitzi Rettinger to connect the dots across those settings.
Kellie shares practical ways to prevent cost and complexity creep, the error traps that trip up home and clinic use, and how upstream choices such as reagent dispensing shape downstream reliability. She also walks through how to train the next generation as veteran experts retire, where to automate, and how suppliers can support resilient, distributed strip production for rural and resource-limited settings.
Presented in partnership with Imagene Technology, Gold Sponsor of ALFC 2025 and a long-time supporter of the conference. Imagene’s IsoFlow reagent dispensing systems are used by LFA manufacturers worldwide.
