Abstract
Disclosed herein is a formulation for detecting a species indicative of a disease in a patient. The formulation comprises a mercury-containing reagent which, when contacted with a fluid sample from the patient, colourimetrically indicates whether the fluid sample contains the species. The mercury-containing reagent is contained within a non-flowing carrier which, upon exposure to the fluid sample, causes rapid mixing of substantially all of the mercury-containing reagent and the fluid sample.
