Described herein is a device for collecting plasma from a blood sample, the device comprising a body defining a flow channel extending between a proximal and a distal end, the flow channel comprising: a membrane region for supporting a separation membrane that filters red blood cells from the plasma; a plasma collection region for supporting an absorbent membrane that collects the plasma; and a chamber for separating the membrane region from the plasma collection region.

Device and method for collecting plasma

Described herein is a fluid collection unit comprising: a receptacle for passively collecting a fluid sample; and a fluid flow path in fluid communication with the receptacle, the fluid flow path passing through the unit for directing the fluid sample from the receptacle to an opposing end of the unit.

Fluid collection unit and related devices and methods

A hinged cap for engaging a housing of a diagnostic device comprises a central body; two arms extending from opposing sides of one end of said central body, said arms being substantially parallel; each of said arms comprising a cap hinge member for engaging a housing hinge member on said housing, wherein said cap hinge member and said housing hinge member define a hinge axis around which said cap is pivotable between an open and a closed position with respect to said housing.

Hinged cap for diagnostic device

The present invention relates to analytical methods, platforms, and devices for the rapid and efficient immunochromatic determination of one or more components in fluid samples.

Diagnostic devices

The present invention relates to analytical methods, platforms, and devices for the rapid and efficient immunochromatic determination of one or more components in fluid samples. The devices are especially useful for identifying analytes in small volumes of whole blood samples utilizing one membrane principally for separating particles such as red blood cells from plasma and a second membrane as the site for reactions to identify the analytes.
