ABSTRACT:
An assay device for detection or determination of an analyte in a sample uses either removably attachable components or hinged panels to provide greater flexibility and reduce manufacturing and storage costs. In one embodiment of the device, the device comprises: (1) a first opposable component including:(a) a first panel; (b) a second panel mounted on the first panel generally parallel to the first panel with space between the first and second panel, the second panel having an opening forming a first receptacle for a sample collection device; and (c) a second receptacle for a test strip formed by the first panel and the second panel; and (2) a second opposable component hingedly attached to the first opposable component. In this device, the first and second opposable components can be brought into operable contact so that fluid is expressed from the sample collection device and applied to the test strip for detection or determination of an analyte by a test performed on the test strip. Other embodiments of devices are included, as well as test kits and method of use of the devices.
