Abstract
Devices for collecting and analyzing a fluid sample comprise a fluid-collecting porous material comprising at least one hydrophilic porous layer and one or more sensors adapted to provide a response to the presence of an analyte. The detectors are useful for collecting and analyzing a very small volume of sample and may include features that facilitate and direct flow of the sample through porous material.
