The invention relates to devices for performing single step assays for the
determination of the presence or absence of an analyte in a liquid
sample, and methods of determining the presence or absence of such
analytes using such devices. Devices disclosed comprise a labeled
analyte-binding reagent reversibly-immobilized on a non-porous solid
material, which solid material is in physical contact with a dry porous
carrier bearing an immobilized analyte-binding reagent. Also provided are
quantitative assay devices.
