Abstract
A lateral flow assay device includes a substrate having a top surface, as well as a sample receiving area disposed upon the top surface. At least one fluid flow path extends along the substrate from the sample receiving area, wherein the sample receiving area can be placed in contact with a peripheral reservoir formed at a sample addition area to draw sample therefrom in a controlled manner. The device can further include a reagent area that is designed to promote uniform dissolution of a deposited detection material by a sample moved through the device along the fluid flow path as well, as a flow channel configure to promote mixing of sample and reagent and an absorbing or wicking zone configured to affect various flow characteristics.
