Abstract
There is provided a test strip assembly for detecting the possible presence of at least one analyte in a sample, a device for detecting the possible presence of at least one analyte in a sample comprising the test strip assembly and methods of detecting the possible presence of at least one analyte in a sample using the device.
Claims24
A test strip assembly for detecting the possible presence of at least one analyte in a sample, comprising:
- a test strip for immobilizing at least one capture agent and detecting the analyte, if present, at a test site on the test strip;
- a sample sorbent strip having a first location for receiving the sample and a connecting portion for connecting the first location with a second location, the connecting portion defining a sample flow path to the second location;
- a reagent sorbent strip having a first location for receiving a reaction reagent for analyte detection reaction and a connecting portion for connecting the first location with a second location, the connecting portion defining a reagent flow path to the second location;
- wherein at least a portion of the test strip, the second location of the sample sorbent strip and the second location of the reagent sorbent strip intersect with each other at an intersection,
- wherein the second location of the sample sorbent strip and the second location of the reagent sorbent strip each form at the intersection a flow path directing the sample flow path and the reagent flow path towards the test strip in substantially the same direction,
- wherein the sample sorbent strip and the reagent sorbent strip contact the test strip at the same or at separate locations.
3 more elements
A device for detecting the possible presence of at least one analyte in a sample, comprising:
- the test strip assembly according to any one of the preceding claims;
- a housing comprising a top piece and a bottom piece, the housing configurable to enclose the test strip assembly.
