Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is related to a diagnostic test kit for detecting luteinizing hormone (LH) in a biological sample at a concentration relative to a threshold concentration of LH. The device can include a release medium formed of a first material and including a labeled conjugate with a detectable label and a first binding member reactive with a first epitope of LH and a capture medium formed of a second, different material, in fluid communication with the release medium. The capture medium includes a result site having immobilized thereon a capture component capable of directly or indirectly binding LH that is bound to the labeled conjugate. The device is calibrated such that color development at the result site occurs only when the LH concentration of the liquid sample is greater than the threshold concentration.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A device for detecting the presence of an analyte in a biological sample comprising: a. a release medium formed of a first material, wherein said release medium is configured to receive the biological sample; b. a capture medium located downstream from said release medium and in fluid communication with said release medium; c. a result site located on said capture medium; d. a scavenger binding member located on one of said release medium and said capture medium…
