What are the Limitations of Immunochromatographic Assay?

Despite their advantages, immunochromatographic assays have some limitations:
Sensitivity and Specificity: These tests may have lower sensitivity and specificity compared to laboratory-based methods like PCR. False positives and false negatives can occur.
Limited Quantitative Data: Most assays provide qualitative results rather than quantitative data, limiting their utility in monitoring disease progression or treatment efficacy.
Sample Quality: The accuracy of the test can be affected by the quality of the sample collected.
