ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a disposable test kit which contains selected reactants, or reagents, necessary for the rapid concentration and detection of selected antigens from biologic extracts. Typically, and preferably, the time required for concentration and detection is less than one hour. The present kit includes internal false position and false negative controls and suitably has a standard color code to assist in the interpretation of the test results. The present kit is a unitary, compartmented package having a reaction chamber, preferably centrally located thereon, and at least one reagent storage chamber. Each reagent storage chamber is connected to the reaction chamber through a valve means which allows fluid flow from the reagent chamber to the reaction chamber, but inhibits flow from the reaction chamber to the reagent chamber. The top portions of the reagent chambers are fabricated of a flexible, or pliable, material, preferably transparent or semi-transparent. Manual pressure applied to the top portion of a reagent chamber causes the contents of the reagent chamber to be controllably transferred through the valve means to the reaction chamber.
