Immunochromatographic device and method for multiplex detection of multiple analytes

摘要

The present invention relates to an immunochromatographic device and method for multiplex detection of multiple analytes. The device comprises a strip of porous material capable of transporting fluids by capillary action, said strip having at least first and second unique capture reagents immobilized thereon in first and second discrete spots spaced apart from an end used to contact transport fluid, said unique first and second capture reagents being specific different first and second analytes, respectively, characterized in that said second discrete spot is spaced from said first discrete spot in both vertical and horizontal dimensions, vertical being the direction of fluid flow.
