    摘要: In various embodiments single-step ATPS paper-based diagnostic assays are provided that exploit the concept of sequential resolubilization of ATPS components to give rise to the desired phase separation behavior within paper. In one illustrative embodiment, a wick is provided for concentrating an analyte within an aqueous two-phase extraction system in a paper, where the wick comprises a paper configured to receive a sample where the paper comprises a first region containing a first component of an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) where the first component is in a dry form, and a second region containing a second component of an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) where the second component is in a dry form; and where said first region and the second region are disposed so that when said wick is contacted with a fluid sample, the first component of said ATPS is hydrated before the second component. In certain embodiments the first and second component are disposed so they are hydrated substantially simultaneously.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are devices and methods that use aqueous two phase systems and lateral flow assays to detect target analytes in a sample. These devices and methods may be used to diagnose a disease or condition in a biological sample, such as blood or serum. In addition, these devices and methods may be used to detect allergens in a food samples or contaminants, such as environmental toxins, in water samples. Device and kit components may be conveniently assembled in a portable container and are amenable to actuation in most settings. The devices are simple to use, requiring a non-trained operator to simply add the sample to the device. Conveniently, the time it takes to detect the target analyte is very short. Thus, the devices and methods disclosed herein provide novel and useful means for point-of-care.

    摘要: Devices and methods are provided for the detection of CSF in a biological sample. In certain embodiments the device is a lateral flow device comprising: a porous substrate; a sample addition zone disposed on or in said porous substrate; a detection zone disposed on or in said porous substrate where said detection zone comprises at least a first test line (T1) and a second test line (T2) each test line comprising binding moieties that bind a complex formed between beta-trace protein (βTP) and an indicator attached to a βTP binding molecule; wherein said porous substrate defines a flow path through which a sample applied to the sample addition zone flows under capillary action away from said sample addition zone into said detection zone; and wherein said first test line (T1) and said second test line (T2) are is configured so that either no test line signal or just a signal at the first test line (T1) is detectable when βTP concentration in a sample applied to said device is lower than the βTP level indicative of a CSF leak; and said second test line (T2) is configured so that a signal is detectable at said second test line when βTP concentration in a sample applied to said device is greater than the βTP level indicative of a CSF leak.
