example 1

[0200] Example 1: Filtration performance of membranes in the absence of lectins

[0201] The test strip shown in Figure 2 uses different membranes as sample filters. All tested filter membranes were purchased from Ahlstrom Filtration, USA and included: cellulose absorbent grade 111, glass fibers grade #141 and #142, Cytosep grades 1660, 1661, 1662 and 1663. As shown in Figure 1, a sample containing whole blood is applied to window 1. The flow velocity of plasma on the nitrocellulose chromatography strip can be observed and recorded. The results are listed in Table 2.

example 2

[0203] Example 2: Blood filtration capacity of membranes pretreated with anti-human erythrocyte antibody

[0204] Add 1 gram of TWEEN20 (TWEEN20) to 9ml of deionized water, mix the solution, store it at room temperature for about a week, and prepare a 10% solution of TWEEN20 (TWEEN20).

[0205] Add 9.0825 g of Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (Trizma Base) (final concentration is 6.055 g / L), 1.7625 mL of HCL (final concentration is 1.7625 mL / L) and 1.8 g Disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA.Na2) (final concentration: 1.2 g / L) can be formulated into rabbit anti-human erythrocyte antibody solution. The mixture was stirred slowly for about an hour until all added chemicals were completely dissolved. The prepared solution was stored at room temperature for 4 hours, or overnight at 4°C. Hydrochloric acid was added to the solution to adjust the pH of the solution to pH 8.5±0.1. Rabbit anti-human red blood cell antibody (anti-hRBC) was added to the solution to a final con...

[0210] Example 3: Comparison between using whole blood and using plasma

[0211] Prepare the test strip as in Example 2, add the whole blood or plasma sample to the sample filter of window 1, and compare the results, as shown in Table 4.

[0212]

[0213] Experimental results show that both whole blood and plasma samples can be used with the test strip of the present invention, and both can obtain substantially consistent quantitative results.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a lateral flow assay and system, including a test strip, for detection and quantification of analytes in samples, such as samples containing cells and fluid, where the assay is volume independent, and the sample size is less than about 100 l, where the test strip includes a first membrane such as a sample filter, that is in capillary contact with an optional second membrane, such as a fluid collector, the second membrane, if present is in capillary contact with an optional third membrane, such as a conjugate pad containing a mobilizable detectable agent, or with a fourth membrane, which is a chromatographic strip, which optionally contains a mobilizable detectable agent, all such membranes being in fluid contact with a fifth membrane, such as a buffer pad, a sixth membrane, such as an absorbent pad, optionally a seventh membrane, which is also an absorbent pad, a capture band for capturing the analyte and at least one control band, or alternatively, the chromatographic strip contains the mobilizable detectable agent in place of a conjugate pad, where the test strip is configured to support removal of red blood cells from the sample and to allow uni-directional or bi-directional fluid flow of fluid from the sample filter to the capture band to be retained therein and detected thereon.The present invention relates to a lateral flow assay and system, including a test strip, for detection and quantification of analytes in samples, where the assay is volume independent, and the sample size is less than about 100 l, where the test strip includes a first membrane (12, 18) that is in capillary contact with an optional second membrane, the second membrane (9), if present is in capillary contact with an optional third membrane (13), containing a mobilizable detectable agent, or with a fourth membrane (9), all such membranes being in fluid contact with a fifth membrane (14), a sixth membrane (15).
