Abstract:
1. An immunoassay cassette for use in detecting an analyte in a liquid body fluid sample, comprising: (a) a cassette body having a sample well for receiving said sample; (b) carried on said body, a reservoir containing a first reagent composition effective to react with one or more sample components to form a modified sample, (c) a support mounted on said body, for movement relative to said cassette body to first and second transfer positions, and (d) carried on said support, a reagent strip containing a second reagent composition effective to react with the modified sample formed in said reservoir to form a detectable analyte-dependent product, wherein movement of support relative to the cassette body to its first transfer position is effective to transfer sample liquid placed in the sample well to said reservoir, and movement of the support to its second transfer position is effective to transfer sample liquid in said reservoir to said reagent strip.
