H5 and H9 coating antibodies were diluted in 20 mM sodium phosphate buffer (PBS) and striped at 2 mg/mL onto the nitrocellulose membrane (Hi Flow plus HF13504, Millipore Corporation) to generate test lines 1 and 2, respectively. Goat antimouse IgG antibodies were diluted in PBS and striped at 1 mg/mL onto the nitrocellulose membrane as the control line. These reagents were dispensed onto membrane using the XYZ Dispensing System (BioDot Inc., Irvine, CA). The striped nitrocellulose membranes were dried at 37 °C for 4 h in a vacuum oven. The sample pad was saturated with PBS containing BSA (1%, w/v) and Tween-20 and dried at 37 °C for 3 h in a vacuum oven. The standard configuration of the QD-LFIAS is shown in Fig. 1. The completed assay was cut into individual 3.5 mm strips using a CM4000n Guillotine Cutter (BioDot Inc., Irvine, CA). Each strip was incorporated into a plastic housing to facilitate the detection of the fluorescence intensity due to 365 nm ultra violet excitation using a fluorescence test strip scanner
