摘要:
A method and a testing device for identifying an antigen or antibody within a biofluid sample are disclosed. The testing device comprises a substrate formed of cellulosic material and having a hydrophilic microfluidic channel pattern thereon. The hydrophilic microfluidic channel pattern defins a collection zone, and at least one detection zone extending therefrom (81, 82, 83). The detection zone has an antibody or antigen immobilised therein. The biofluid sample can be deposited on the collection zone and transferred by capillary action to the detection zone and when the antigen or antibody in the biofluid sample reacts with a corresponding said antibody or antigen within the detection zone a visual indication on the detection zone results from reduced wicking and/or differentiation of eluation speeds.
