The present invention relates to a device for detecting an infectious agent characterized by comprising i) a female part with at least one slit and ii) a male part. Also, it relates to a kit for detecting an infectious agent characterized by including a) at least one detection fiber with a predetermined antibody for a predetermined infectious agent, b) at least one device for detecting an infectious agent, and a microplate with a plurality of wells. Herein, a solution within each well potentially comprises a biomarker related to a predetermined infectious agent coupling each device with one of the wells, thus immersing the detection fiber in the solution. Un primer aspecto de la presente invención es un dispositivo para la detección de un agente infeccioso caracterizado porque comprende: i) una pieza hembra que a su vez comprende la menos una hendidura; y ii) una pieza macho; ahora bien, un segundo aspecto de la presente invención es un kit para la detección de un agente infeccioso caracterizado porque comprende: a) al menos una fibra de detección que a su vez comprende un anticuerpo predeterminado para la detección de un agente infecciosos predeterminado; b) al menos un dispositivo para la detección de un agente infeccioso; y una microplaca que a su vez comprende una pluralidad de pocillos y una solución dentro de cada pocillo que potencialmente comprende un biomarcador relacionado con un agente infeccioso predeterminado, en donde cada dispositivo se acopla con uno de los pocillos de la pluralidad de pocillos permitiendo que la fibra de detección se sumerja en la solución.
