Devices and methods incorporate mucolytic agents into a point-of-care testing device. The sample is loaded, and then the sample travels until it encounters one or more lysis agents and/or mucolytic agents. The mucolytic agent is preferably pre-loaded onto the collection device. In a preferred embodiment, the mucolytic agent is localized between the sample application zone and the conjugate zone. In embodiments with a sample compressor, one or more mucolytic agents may be pre-loaded and dried on the sample compressor, the sample collector, in various locations on the test strip, or in the running buffer.
设备和方法将粘液溶解剂纳入护理点检测设备。装入样本后,样本会一直移动,直到遇到一种或多种裂解剂和/或粘液溶解剂。粘液溶解剂最好预装在收集装置上。在一个优选的实施方案中,粘液溶解剂位于样品应用区和结合区之间。在带有样品压缩机的实施方案中,可在样品压缩机、样品收集器、试纸条上的不同位置或运行
缓冲液中预装和干燥一种或多种粘液溶解剂。
