Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to lateral flow methods and apparatuses for detecting one or more analytes. Certain embodiments provide a lateral flow device, kit and method of using the same, comprising: a flow path defined by a permeable sub-assembly of the lateral flow device, a release zone comprising a plurality of peptide-tagged agents, and a detection zone comprising a plurality of anti-peptide agents present in the flow path at a ratio of at least 100:1, on a weight:weight basis, relative to the plurality of peptide-tagged agents.

Claim (Index 35):
A method to detect a predetermined analyte, comprising:\n i) providing:\n a) a first permeable release member comprising a capture agent and a detectable agent, the capture agent comprising a first antibody covalently conjugated to a plurality of first peptide tags, the detectable agent comprising a detectable tag; \n b) a universal detection member in fluid communication with the permeable release member, the universal detection member comprising a porous membrane and an anti-peptide antibody bound to the porous membrane, wherein the anti-peptide antibody is a specific binding partner to at least one of the plurality of first peptide tags; and \n c) an absorbent wicking pad in fluid communication with the universal detection member; \n ii) contacting the first permeable release member with a sample, the sample comprising the predetermined analyte; iii) forming an analyte complex comprising the predetermined analyte bound to the capture agent and separately bound to the detectable agent; iv) passively transporting the analyte complex by capillary flow action to the universal detection member; v) immobilizing the analyte complex to the universal detection member by selectively binding the anti-peptide antibody with at least one of the plurality of first peptide tags; and vi) detecting the analyte within 10 minutes of the contacting by detecting the detectable tag, wherein the first permeable release member is selected from a plurality of permeable release members that are compatible for use with the universal detection member for detecting different types of predetermined analytes, wherein the plurality of permeable release members comprises at least a second permeable release member, the at least a second permeable release member comprising at least a second antibody covalently conjugated to a plurality of second peptide tags, at least one of the plurality of second peptide tags a specific binding partner with the anti-peptide antibody.
