Abstract
A device () for carrying out a chemical or biochemical reaction and detecting the results is described. The device may be used in an assay to detect a target nucleic acid in a sample. The device includes (i) a well () in which a chemical or biochemical reaction such as a nucleic acid amplification reaction may be effected in a liquid phase or a receiver for such a well; (ii) a channel () extending from the well; (iii) a lateral flow assay device () arranged to receive liquid contents from channel, on a bibulous membrane thereon. The membrane contains elements that are able to detect the products of the chemical or biochemical reaction such as a target nucleic acid. Methods for using such devices and apparatus for carrying out assays using these are also described and claimed.
