A testing assembly for lateral flow assay comprising a liquid sample receiving unit arranged on a support structure defining a plane and configured to receive a liquid sample via the liquid sample receiving interface, at least one testing strip having, in a planar state, a testing strip center line length (L) in a longitudinal direction, a testing strip width in a width direction and a testing strip thickness, and comprising a capillary wick that includes a test portion that comprises a reacting material configured to react in a predetermined manner to a pre-specified analyte, wherein the width direction of the testing strip extends at an angle smaller than 90&#xb0; with respect to a normal of the plane, and wherein the testing strip is curved, resulting in an effective extension being shorter than the testing strip center line length in the planar state.

Testing assembly and testing device for lateral flow assay

A device for extracting a body fluid and testing a predetermined analyte or property of the fluid is provided. The device comprises a hollow needle having a channel linking a base end and a tip, a collection chamber having an input end in fluid communication with the channel, a testing chamber, a solution chamber and a flow control. The collection chamber comprises a capillary wick configured to transport at least a fraction of the body fluid away from the input end. The testing chamber comprises a testing unit including a reacting material configured to react to a predetermined analyte or property of the fluid and the solution chamber comprises a buffer solution. A flow control is also provided for a transfer of the buffer solution from the solution chamber to the collection chamber and a transfer of the body fluid from the collection chamber to the testing chamber.

Body fluid extraction device

A flexible active signal cable () includes a flexible printed circuit substrate (), two electrical connectors (), at least two metal conductors (), at least one flexible optical waveguide (), an optical transmitter (), and an optical receiver (). In some embodiments, the flexible active signal cable is less than 0.5 meters long and is capable of being wrapped and unwrapped from a 5 millimeter diameter mandrel 10,000 times with a low probability of failure at a test temperature, while supporting data rates greater than 25 megabits per second.
