LATERAL FLOW DEVICE FOR THE DETECTION OF DIURON

摘要

The present invention relates to a lateral flow device for detection of diuron in a sample comprising: (a) a substrate comprising a sample receiving portion and a reaction site, the substrate being structured to permit movement of a liquid sample from the sample receiving portion to the reaction site; (b) a hapten of diuron at a first location; and (c) an anti-diuron antibody at a second location that is separate from the first location, the hapten and anti-diuron antibody being arranged such that when the liquid sample is applied to the sample receiving portion, the hapten, antibody and liquid sample are combined at the reaction site by movement of the liquid sample from the sample receiving portion to the reaction site. The invention also relates to methods of detecting diuron in a liquid sample using the lateral flow device, and to a kit comprising the lateral flow device.
