METHODS OF MANUFACTURING REAGENT TEST STRIPS

摘要

Methods for making reagent test strips are provided. In the subject methods, a test strip precursor made up of an elongated support material having a planar surface and a narrow stripe of reagent material positioned along its central axis is cut according to an inter-digitating pattern to produce the plurality of reagent test strips. The initial precursor material may be a tape or in the form of a card. Also provided are the reagent test strips produced by the subject methods and kits that include the same. The subject reagent test strips and kits find use in analyte detection and/or concentration determination assays.
