Abstract: Disclosed is a fast flow device, for detecting an analyte in a sample, comprising a grooved sample pad for collecting the sample, a test strip coupled to the sample pad, and a housing enclosing and allowing visualization of the test strip. The sample pad can include markings for determining the amount of sample collected. The device can also preferably include a vented flexible collar connecting the housing to a run fluid container, which vented flexible collar fits over the sample pad and forms an air-tight seal between the housing and the run fluid container. The device achieves fast flow because the venting equalizes internal pressure of the housing and run fluid container and because of the grooving on the sample pad. Further, the device can include a second sample pad/test strip combination for detection of a second analyte. Also disclosed are methods for detecting an analyte in a sample using the device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a funnel collector for use with a sample testing device. The funnel collector collects and holds a fluid sample in order to place the sample in immediate contact with a diagnostic test strip, which reacts with the sample in a known fashion.
