Abstract
A self-contained reagent package device for an assay comprises a support member and a plurality of wells in the support member. All of the wells are capable of retaining liquids therein. One of the wells has on its interior surfaces an immunoreactive substance for carrying out the assay. At least one of the wells includes a predetermined amount of reagent therein. Another of the wells is empty so that the specimen to be assayed may be deposited therein. A protective cover is sealed over the open ends of the wells to maintain the incorporated reagents in stable form prior to use. The cover preferably does not seal the open end of one of the wells which serves as a specimen collecting well.
