A device for detecting an analyte in a sample, comprising:
- a) a collecting chamber having an opening for collecting a liquid sample;
- b) a detecting chamber having a detecting element for detecting the analyte in the liquid sample;
- c) a lid having a circumferential lid edge, the lid being configured to cover the opening;
- and
- d) an indicating device configured to indicate whether or not the lid covers the opening at an appointed position,
- wherein the indicating device generates a sound when the lid covers the opening at the appointed position resulting from elastic deformation and rebound of an element disposed on the collecting chamber upon interaction with an element disposed on the lid edge, and
- wherein the sound indicates formation of a liquid tight seal of the opening and the start of a detection assay by the detecting element when in use, and wherein a detection result is displayed on the detecting element after an allotted time starting from the generation of the sound.
