Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a device for quantitatively detecting the presence or absence of an analyte in a liquid sample, comprising the steps of providing a set of parts comprising a container for collecting a liquid sample material, and a filter material and a detection device comprising a reaction liquid, thereafter adding a metered amount of liquid sample material to the container, thereafter transferring the metered amount of liquid sample material from the container to the filter material, thereafter contacting the filter material containing the metered amount of sample material with the reaction liquid and mixing the reaction liquid and the filter material, thereby obtaining a detection liquid, thereafter measuring the transmission of electromagnetic radiation at one or more wavelengths through the detection liquid and/or the emission of electromagnetic radiation at one or more wavelengths from the detection liquid and detecting the amount of analyte in the sample by comparing the r
