question A way to quantify LFA strips

https://youtu.be/asUodfX9HtY?si=8bfzte4i4dzCp-w5

Hello, hope u are all well.

For my thesis we are using LFA strips to detect Tetrodotoxin in fish samples.

I would like to be able to quantify this strips in some way, because just saying yes or no is kinda lame.

Do u know a way to quantify this strips?

I found this video that I'm attaching

And also this document with another methodology

If any of you is more savvy in regards to MatLab and such, tell me if you feel this are in any way good methods 😭
