More Information
Summary:A device (1) for carrying out a chemical or biochemical reaction and detecting the results, such as an assay to detect a target nucleic acid in a sample, said device comprising (i) a first well (8) in which a chemical or biochemical reaction such as a nucleic acid amplification reaction may be effected in a liquid phase or a receiving means for such a first well; (ii) a first channel (16) extending from the first well; (iii) a lateral flow assay device (32) arranged to receive liquid contents from said first channel, optionally by way of second well, on a bibulous membrane thereon, wherein said membrane contains elements that are able to detect the products of the chemical or biochemical reaction such as a target nucleic acid. Methods for using such devices and apparatus for carrying out assays using these are also described and claimed.
