Abstract: A method for determining the presence of a predetermined minimum detectible amount of one or more analytes in a sample suspected of containing the analyte is disclosed. Each analyte is a member of a specific binding pair ("sbp member") consisting of ligand and its complementary receptor. The method comprises contacting with a test solution containing the sample and predetermined amounts of two or more of a plurality of first sbp members, each respectively analogous to one of the analytes, a contact portion of a piece of bibulous material capable of being traversed in at least one direction by the test solution by capillary migration. The bibulous material contains predetermined amounts of two or more of a plurality of second sbp members, each respectively capable of binding one of the analytes and corresponding first sbp member.
