Abstract

See full text

A transport matrix and diagnostic device are provided which produce a physically detectable change in a predetermined distribution across a detection zone which correlates with the amount of selected analyte in a sample. The matrix includes a detection zone having a capture reagent yielding a physically detectable change which correlates with the amount of selected analyte in the sample. The detection zone has a leading boundary which first encounters the sample and a trailing boundary which encounters the sample after being transported across the detection zone. The capture reagent is immobilized on the matrix in a predetermined distribution from the leading boundary to the trailing boundary of the detection zone. A method is also provided which determines the level of a selected analyte in a sample by distributing a physically detectable change in a predetermined pattern across a detection zone on a transport matrix which correlates with the amount of selected analyte.
