Abstract
A lateral flow assay test device providing a structure for the lateral flow assay reactions provides for a continuous flow path of bibulous material provided in separate but contiguous regions of the device in which the bibulous layers are in fluid contact with each other thereby providing flow control of the timing and speed of the assay reaction. Increased flow control results in increasing reliability of use, increasing sophistication of reactions and increases the range of molecules or diagnosis that can be identified. Such flow control can extend processing times and allow users or test givers to manually delay test processing providing enhanced test results.
