摘要

A test strip, a device incorporating the test strip therein, and a method for use of the test strip within the device to detect an analyte in a solution or bodily fluid. The test strip consists of three zones, a reaction zone (21) coated with a substance that binds the analyte, a sample zone (25) with a region for addition of sample, and a detection zone (27) with coated detection reagent. An absorbent pad (24) underlies the reaction zone (21).
