Abstract
Fluorescent lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), known for their robust signal-readout capabilities, is approximately 1–2 orders of magnitude more sensitive than traditional LFIA. However, most fluorescent materials suffer from aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) at high concentration, which restricted the performance of these fluorescent reporters. Aggregation-induced emission luminogens (AIEgens) against ACQ have demonstrated exceptional optical performance, garnering significant attentions in immunoassay. Here, we have conducted an extensive review of AIEgens-based LFIA in three main aspects: (1) AIE-based reporters including single AIEgens, non-dyes typed AIE materials, and AIEgens-loading typed fluorescent microspheres; (2) coupling strategies including electrostatic adsorption, EDC method, oriented antibody coupling, and surface modifications; (3) potential typed AIE-LFIAs including molecular engineering, AIEgens doping, and novel confinement strategy for AIEgens. Especially, the future challenges and perspectives of AIEgens-based LFIA are also discussed in detail, aiming to provide guidance for the development of high-performance AIEgens-based LFIA in wide application field.
