A lateral flow device comprising:
- a wicking pad composed of a porous material, the wicking pad having a planar region for contacting a substrate comprising immobilized analytes;
- and
- wherein the wicking pad has a first end, a second end and two lateral edges;
- a support layer bonded to a first planar surface of the wicking pad;
- a top layer bonded to a second planar surface of the wicking pad, the top layer comprising two or more reservoirs spatially separated from each other, wherein the longitudinal axis of each reservoir is perpendicular to the lateral edges of the wicking pad, wherein each of the reservoirs is in fluid communication with the first end of the wicking pad, and wherein each of the reservoirs comprises an aperture through which a solution is released from the reservoir;
- and
- a pump comprising an absorbent pad contacting the second end of the wicking pad.
