Summary:Compositions, devices and methods for the detection of target microorganisms, such as by a visual immunoprecipitation assay, where the detection requires the migration of the target microorganisms (typically a target microorganism- antibody-detection reagent complex) along a lateral flow membrane of a diagnostic device. The present i nvention permits such detection by inhibiting the agglutination, or other aggregation, of target microorganisms (and particula rly target microorganisms bound to an antibody-detection reagent) while the microorganisms are migrating along the lateral flow membr ane.
