TESTING ASSEMBLY AND TESTING DEVICE FOR LATERAL FLOW ASSAY

摘要

A testing assembly (100) for lateral flow assay comprising a liquid sample receiving unit (102) arranged on a support structure (104) defining a plane (XY) and configured to receive a liquid sample via the liquid sample receiving interface (106), at least one testing strip (108.1) having, in a planar state, a testing strip center line length (L) in a longitudinal direction, a testing strip width (W) in a width direction and a testing strip thickness (d), and comprising a capillary wick (110.1) that includes a test portion (112.1) that comprises a reacting material configured to react in a predetermined manner to a pre-specified analyte, wherein the width direction of the testing strip extends at an angle smaller than 90° with respect to a normal (N) of the plane, and wherein the testing strip is curved, resulting in an effective extension being shorter than the testing strip center line length in the planar state.
