A multizone element, for quantitative analyte determination in whole blood, containing a porous spreading zone separated from a reagent zone by a barrier zone, said barrier zone comprising a non-porous film comprising a polymer of: from 30 to 95 percent by weight of polymerized monomer having the structure ##STR1## from 0.25 to 30 percent by weight of polymerized monomer having the structure ##STR2## and from 0.1 to 50 percent by weight of polymerized monomer having the structure ##STR3## wherein: R.sup.1, R.sup.3, and R.sup.5 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and methyl,

Analytical element containing a barrier zone and process employing same

A color imaging device is comprised of means for sensing radiation comprising a planar array of charge-handling semiconductor photosensors, preferably at least one of the photosensors having a radiation sensing area with at least one dimension less than about 100 microns, and superimposed thereon, filter means for controlling access of radiation to the sensing means. The filter means is in micro-registration with the array of photosensors and comprises a transparent mordant layer with a plurality of radiation intercepting means defining a planar array of filter elements. The filter area of each intercepting means contains at least one mordantable dye which absorbs radiation in at least one portion of the spectrum and transmits radiation in at least one other portion of the spectrum. The color imaging device comprises an interlaid pattern having at least two sets of intercepting means, the first set having a different radiation absorption and transmission characteristic from that of the second set.
