Abstract
One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a device for detecting a target analyte in a liquid sample. The device can comprise a housing. The housing can include an inlet for receiving a liquid sample, an outlet for removing a volume of the liquid sample from the device, a filter associated with the outlet and being sized and dimensioned to retain a target analyte on a surface thereof, and a flow system comprising at least one channel that is in communication with the inlet and the outlet. At least a portion of the at least one channel can be located substantially adjacent the surface of the filter and be shaped and dimensioned to reduce the amount of unreacted fluorescent probe available to create the background interference during detection of the target analyte.
