Abstract

The present invention includes devices and methods for the detection of an analyte in a fecal sample. The fecal sample test device includes a sample collection structure and sample collection housing, a detection housing, a fecal suspension solution or fecal dilution solution, a detection housing capable of attachment to the collection housing and an analyte detecting means. When attached, the collection housing permits a portion of liquid extracted sample to fluidly flow into the detection housing where the analyte detection means detects the presence or quantity of an analyte suspected of being present in the fecal sample.
