A solid-phase test device and a method for the detection of sialidase activity in a fluid sample. The test device includes a solid support provided with a pre-deposited dry form of a sialidase detecting composition. The sialidase detecting composition includes a sialidase substrate and a color-developing reagent. When the sialidase substrate is exposed to sialidase it yields an intermediate compound which reacts with the color-developing reagent to form a detectable color change.

Solid phase test device for sialidase assay

A method is provided for determining the level of an analyte in the blood of an individual based on determination of the level of the same analyte in non-blood sample (e.g. urine, saliva and hair) obtained from the individual. The non-blood sample contains red blood cells and the volume of the blood in the sample together with the amount of the analyte in the sample are the basis for calculating the level of the analyte in the individual's blood. Kits for carrying out the above method are also provided.

Method and kit for the determination of analyte concentration in blood

A sensor device () and a method for measuring a viscosity of a sample of a liquid. The sensor features a chamber () for receiving the sample of the liquid, two electrodes () disposed either on the surfaces of the chamber, but possibly isolated from contacting the sample, or electrodes located externally to the chamber, and a capacitance measuring circuit (). The sensor is used by connecting to a measurer for determining a capacitance on the electrodes, such that the capacitance directly reflects a volume occupied by the sample of the liquid. Preferably, the liquid is blood and the capacitance is used to determine the clotting time of the blood. Also preferably, a cover for the chamber is provided with at least one aperture, which more preferably is a mesh. Alternatively, an electrical property such as the amplitude of current passed through the sample is used to determine clotting time. Also preferably, the time period required for the maximum capacitance to be reached could be measured. Alternatively, the capacitance could be measured after a fixed time period () had elapsed. Also alternatively, the time period required for the maximum current to be reached could be measured, or the amount of current could be measured after a fixed time period had elapsed. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, a kit for measuring the clotting time of blood is provided. In other preferred embodiments of the present invention, methods are provided for using the kit and device of the present invention.

Apparatus for dry chemical analysis of fluids

A solid phase immuno-assay system for assaying at least one analyte, in the form of a solid support having a plurality of receptors bound thereto. At least two of the receptors conjugate with the same analyte. A reaction container comprising a plurality of longitudinally arranged individual compartments, and a longitudinally extending single compartment. A card for assaying a plurality of samples for the same analyte, having a plurality of receptors for the analyte at different locations on the card. A method of performing an assay for the same analyte in more than one sample, by providing a receptor for the analyte at more than a single location on a solid substrate; exposing each of the receptors to different samples; and developing each of the receptor locations to indicate the presence of the analyte in each of the samples.
