Abstract: A test strip assembly for dipping in a bodily fluid sample to analyze the presence or absence of one or more analytes is provided. The test strip assembly includes a basal layer, a porous membrane positioned over the basal layer to allow bodily fluid to flow in a lateral direction within the porous membrane, and a plurality of detection labels placed on the porous membrane. The detection labels receive bodily fluid flowing laterally through the porous membrane and redirect the flow in a vertical direction within the detection labels to enable interaction with reagents for analyte detection. A device including one or more such test strip assemblies is also provided.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for detecting one or more analytes in a biological sample using a test device. The method includes applying the biological sample to a sample-introduction region to obtain a flowing sample along a primary fluidic pathway. The obtained flowing sample may bifurcate at one or more bifurcation nodes into at least two laterally directed fluid branches that advance toward one or more detection pads arranged in an array along the primary fluidic pathway. The obtained flowing sample may interact with one or more biochemical agents present at the one or more detection pads to generate a signal indicative of the presence of the one or more analytes in the biological sample.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of extending the path of a biological sample flow in a lateral flow assay on a test strip including a membrane. The method includes arranging the membrane in a helical shape in a test strip. The helical shape extends the flow path increasing interaction time between the biological sample and binding reagents on the membrane as the sample flows through multiple turns of the helix. Further, a lateral flow assay on the test strip including a membrane disposed on a surface of the test strip in a helical shape is provided. The helical shape extends a path of a biological sample flow through the membrane.
