Claim 12:
13. A multiparameter lateral flow membrane, comprising a microporous membrane layer for lateral flow of a liquid through the microporous membrane layer,
wherein the microporous membrane layer has at least two flow lanes in the direction of lateral flow, including a first flow lane and a second flow lane, the first flow lane and the second flow lane each defining a single, unitary, flow lane,
wherein each of said at least two flow lanes comprises a detection zone including a binding agent,
wherein a shared, single hydrophobic separation channel exclusively separates said first flow lane from said second flow lane over the length of the first flow lane and the second flow lane,
wherein said at least two flow lanes are isomorphic lanes,
wherein said at least two 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.
