Claim Text:
1. A method for detecting an amount of an analyte of interest for presence of Foot and Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV) in a sample, comprising: a. obtaining a fluid test sample to be assayed for said analyte of interest; b. supplying a measurement device comprising a membrane strip with a proximal end containing a labeled binding partner and a labeled control reagent, and a distal end comprising c. contacting said membrane strip with said fluid test sample; and allowing said sample to travel from said proximal end to said distal end of the strip; d. maintaining said membrane strip under conditions which are sufficient to allow said analyte of interest to bind to said labeled binding partner, thereby forming a specific binding complex with said analyte of interest, and allowing the transport of said specific binding complex and said labeled control reagent through said membrane strip to said immobilized capture reagent and said immobilized control capture reagent; e. maintaining said membrane strip under conditions which are sufficient to allow said specific binding complex in said fluid to bind to said immobilized capture reagent and said labeled control reagent to bind to said immobilized control capture reagent; and f. detecting an amount of said analyte of interest in said fluid test sample as indicated by the intensity of signals produced.
