Abstract:
A device for detecting the presence of a target in a sample including a first port configured to receive a multi-layered substrate having a sample inlet and a reagent inlet. The sample inlet is connected to a first microfluidic channel and the reagent inlet is connected to both the first microfluidic channel and a second microfluidic channel. The second microfluidic channel has a longer pathway than the first microfluidic channel. A first test strip and a second test strip are each connected to both the first microfluidic channel and the second microfluidic channel, while a third test strip is connected only to the first microfluidic channel. Each test strip includes a conjugate section, a detection section, and a collection section.

Claim (Index 8):
A method for detecting the presence of a target in a sample, comprising the steps of:\n providing a device having a first port configured to receive a multi-layered substrate having a sample inlet and a reagent inlet, wherein the sample inlet is connected to a first microfluidic channel and the reagent inlet is connected to both the first microfluidic channel and a second microfluidic channel, and further wherein the second microfluidic channel comprises a longer pathway than the first microfluidic channel, and further comprising a first test strip and a second test strip each connected to both the first microfluidic channel and the second microfluidic channel, and a third test strip connected only to the first microfluidic channel, wherein each test strip comprises a conjugate section, a detection section, and a collection section; labeling detection antibodies of the target with nanoparticles and depositing the detection antibodies at the conjugate section; labeling secondary antibodies of the target with nanoparticles and depositing the secondary antibodies at the conjugate section; inserting a sample into the sample inlet and a reagent into the reagent inlet; flowing the sample across each test strip; and capturing detection antibodies and secondary antibodies at the detection section.
