Abstract
The present invention provides a method of improving reagent elution from a reagent strip comprising a handle on one end which is affixed an absorbent carrier impregnated with a reagent. The absorbent carrier is pressed against the handle by a thin mesh which is stuck or sealed on to the handle on opposite sides of the carrier. Another mesh is between the carrier and the handle. When the carrier is immersed in a liquid, the meshes improve the elution of the reagent into the liquid.
