A stripe applicator device (10) that facilitates the accurate and efficient striping of a membrane (26) with a reagent solution (R) while avoiding cross-contamination between adjacent reagent stripes (S), preferably has a pay-out assembly (20), an applicator assembly (24) having a plurality of nozzles (78) aligned along a line that forms an obtuse angle with the line of travel of a membrane material (26) from the pay-out assembly (20), a drying chamber (40) and a take-up assembly (30) having a pinch-roller assembly (36) driven by a motor (21) to draw the membrane material (26) from the pay-out assembly (20) through the applicator assembly (24) and drying chamber (40).
