SAMPLING DEVICE, THE METHOD AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention provides an immunochemical sampling device, use thereof, processes for production of the sampling device, and methods for use of the sampling device in lateral flow immunoassays. The sampling device comprises an elongated support surrounded at one of its proximal ends by a porous layer, which is surrounded by an impermeable protecting layer and optionally also attached to the elongated support at the same time by means of the protecting layer. The porous layer comprises a specific labeled binding reagent which is activated by a liquid sample and mobilized in a controlled manner when contacted with an analyzer device comprising a porous carrier. The porous carrier of the analyzer device comprises at least one specific binding reagent in a detection zone. The analyzer device can be used with a multiple channel analyzer device in order to detect several analytes from one sample. The result can be read from the detection zone of the analyzer device directly visually or by appropriate equipment capable of recording the results.
