Claim 0:
1. A multiparameter lateral flow membrane for testing multiple ligands or analytes in a liquid sample, comprising a microporous membrane layer for lateral flow of a liquid through the microporous membrane layer,
wherein the microporous membrane layer has two or more flow lanes in the direction of lateral flow, each of the flow lanes constituting a single, unitary flow lane
wherein said two or more flow lanes run parallel and adjacent to one another and are separated by hydrophobic separation channels, where adjacent flow lanes are exclusively separated by a shared hydrophobic separation channel over the length of the adjacent flow lanes, and
wherein each of said two or more flow lanes comprises a detection zone including a binding agent,
wherein said two or more flow lanes are isomorphic lanes,
wherein said two or more flow lanes are zig-zag-shaped lanes or meander-shaped lanes; and
wherein the detection zone in a first flow lane, and the detection zone in a second flow lane adjacent to the first flow lane are positioned along a common line in the direction of fluid flow.
