Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The present invention relates to improved dry stick structures, methods of producing such dry sticks and their use in the analysis of analytes in samples. The invention also relates to an automatic or semi-automatic system comprising the improved dry stick structure. In addition, the present invention relates to an automatic or semi-automatic system for optimizing the performance of a dairy animal herd comprising the improved dry stick structure. Background of the invention
[0002] Demand for rapid and reliable diagnostic tests is increasing. Most diagnostic tests in use today comprise a single layer of porous material, such as a filter pad, impregnated with one or more reagents capable of producing a detectable signal. Such diagnostic tests are non-partitioned in that the one or more reagents are present in a single layer of porous material.
[0003] When using such non-compartmental dry sticks, the porous material is brought into contact with ...
