Device For Detection Of Analytes And Uses Thereof

A device for detecting an analyte comprising a first outer member and a second outer member comprising:

• a conjugate pad,
• a first inner member and a second inner member,
• wherein the first inner member and second inner member are in contact with each other,
• wherein said first outer member and first inner member comprise an inlet, and
• wherein between the first and second inner member an analyte detection membrane system comprising in the following order:
• a test membrane;
• and
• an absorbent member;
• and
• wherein at least a portion of each of the conjugate pad, test membrane, and absorbent member are substantially parallel to each other, and
• wherein said analyte detection membrane system is compressed between the first inner member and second inner member, and
• wherein said conjugate pad is not compressed between said first and second inner members.
