A rapid diagnostic device for detecting multiple biomarkers in bodily fluid samples, particularly useful for disease screening including breast cancer. The device comprises a housing containing at least one test strip with a sample receiving zone, conjugate pad, and multiple test zones. The test strip utilizes specific materials including Cytiva GF/DVA and Ahlstrom 1667 sample pads, an Ahlstrom 6613 conjugate pad with carboxylated 150 nm gold nanoshell conjugates, and a Sartorius CN140 membrane with precisely positioned test and control zones. The device simultaneously detects multiple biomarkers, such as hCG and CA-15-3, using specific antibodies. Features include a built-in safety lancet, integrated buffer system, and compatibility with various sample types. Results are available within ten minutes, with options for quantitative analysis via a dedicated reader or smartphone application. This multi-biomarker approach potentially improves screening accuracy compared to single-marker tests, offering versatility for detecting various medical conditions.
