Abstract
Devices for conducting an assay are disclosed which utilize shrink wrap as a casing material. The use of shrink wrap casings enables the preliminary fluid filtering step and the chemical detection step to be combined, provides improved control over the flow of fluids into and through the assay device and reduces the time, material, effort, expense and risk of contamination involved in conducting assays.
