This invention relates to a device for the simultaneous qualitative or
quantitative determination of several analytes in a liquid sample. The
device comprises a membrane with a charging zone, for the application of
the liquid sample, at least two indicator zones which can interact with
the analyte(s) and at least one absorption region, which accepts the
fluid after passing through the indicator zones, whereby the indicator
zones lie between the charging zone and an absorption region,
characterized in that the flow directions (flow tracks) are essentially
parallel from the application zone through each indicator zone to an
absorption region and at least two different flow tracks are present. The
invention further relates to a method for the determination of several
analytes or derivatives thereof in a liquid sample, comprising:
application of the sample to the charging zone of a membrane of the
device, whereby said sample is present in sufficient amounts to permit
the sample fluid to flow in the direction of the absorption region
through the indicator zones and to permit the analytes or derivatives
thereof in the liquid sample to form a complex in the indicator zone.
