Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The invention provides an assay device 1, for detecting an analyte in a sample, comprising a sample receiving chamber 3, a fluid-containing reservoir 4, a releasing means 6 for releasing fluid from the fluid reservoir, and a means for detecting the analyte in the sample 7. Insertion of the sample into the assay device causes the releasing means to release fluid from the fluid reservoir, whereupon the fluid contacts the sample before passing along the device to enter the detecting means 7 via conduit 10. The assay device provides a simple one-step diagnostic test for medical conditions, which can be carried out by a patient. The invention also provides an assay kit comprising an assay device and a sampling device. The invention also provides a sampling device for taking a sample from a subject, which comprises a shaft having at least one radially extending projection (24) forming a substantially continuous peripheral surface around the shaft.
