  • Publication number: 20230020903
    Abstract: A lateral flow testing device includes a main body adapted to support an element for collecting a sample. The element is supported at a distal end of the testing device and is in fluid communication with one or more testing components having an analyte detection zone for detecting one or more analytes present in said sample. The testing components produce visual information related to said sample, thereby informing the user of the outcome of a test. The device incorporates a handle reconfigurable with respect to said main body such that in a first handle configuration, the handle hinders sight of the visual information to improve privacy of the test, and in a second handle configuration, the handle facilitates the collection of said sample by increasing a distance between a proximal end of the testing device and the element.

  • Publication number: 20200114348
    Abstract: A lateral flow testing device (1) comprises a main body (3) adapted to support an element (5) for collecting a sample (100), said sample collection element (5) being supported at a distal end (1d) of the testing device (1) and being in fluid communication with one or more testing components (7), the testing components comprising an analyte detection zone for detecting one or more analytes present in said sample. The testing components produce visual information (200) related to said sample (100), thereby informing the user of the outcome of a test. The device incorporates a handle (9) reconfigurable with respect to said main body (3) such that in one or more first handle configurations (11) the handle (9) hinders sight of the visual information (200), and in one or more second handle configurations (13) the handle (9) facilitates the collection of said sample (100) by increasing a distance between a proximal end (1p) of the testing device (1) and the sample collection element (5).
