Composition e.g. hormone, test strip for a diagnostic test system, comprises a detection area coupled with a fluid sample flow path and including immobilized test and control reagents binding an analyte, and a monitoring marker respectively

摘要

A composition test strip has a test marker and a monitoring marker that is free from a specific absorption affinity for a target analyte and exhibits different optical characteristics, where a detection area (15) is coupled with a fluid sample flow path downward of a sample receiving area, and the area (15) has an immobilized test reagent which intrinsically binds the analyte, and an immobilized control reagent which intrinsically binds the monitoring marker. An independent claim is also included for a diagnostic test method.
