20110177616 | Diagnostic Test Kits Employing an Internal Calibration System - A diagnostic test kit that employs a lateral flow assay device and a plurality of assay reagents for detecting a test analyte within a test sample is disclosed. The assay reagents include detection probes that are capable of producing a detection signal representing the presence or quantity of the test analyte in the test sample. To further enhance detection accuracy, calibration probes are also used that are capable of producing a calibration signal representing the presence or quantity of a calibration analyte. The calibration signal may be utilized to calibrate the detection signal. | 07-21-2011 |

20100015658 | Meter Strip and Method for Lateral Flow Assay Devices - A diagnostic method and associated test kit for detecting an analyte residing in a test sample is provided. The kit includes a housing, and a membrane disposed within the housing having a detection region and a collection region. A blood sample meter is provided having a first end for absorption of a blood sample, a filtering section adjacent to the first end that filters red blood cell components from the blood sample, and a storage section adjacent to the filtering section that receives plasma or serum from the filtering section. An opening in the housing is sized for insertion of the sample meter into the housing such that the storage section of the sample meter is disposed in fluid communication with the collection region of the membrane. The plasma or serum is transferred from the storage section of the sample meter to the collection region of the membrane for subsequent migration to the detection region. | 01-21-2010 |

20110020541 | Methods of Making Assay Devices Utilizing Hollow Particles - Hollow particles for use in various types of assay devices are provided. Due to their hollow or voided structure, the particles may exhibit a variety of beneficial properties. For instance, hollow particles are generally lightweight, and thus, relatively inexpensive in comparison to other types of particles. Hollow particles may also form a stable system without requiring refrigeration or rotation. In addition, hollow particles may possess enhanced light diffraction capabilities, which may be particularly beneficial in certain types of assay devices, e.g., diffraction-based assay devices. | 01-27-2011 |
