DEVICE AND METHOD OF SEPARATING AND ASSAYING WHOLE BLOOD ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A device and method of separating the cellular components of whole blood from plasma or serum and assaying the plasma or serum for a soluble constituent. The device includes a filter pad, that separates the cellular components of whole blood from the serum or plasma, in releas- able contact with a test pad, that assays the serum or plasma for a particular soluble consti- tuent. The filter pad, contaminated with the cellular components, is detachable from the plasma or serum-saturated test pad, thereby eliminating assay interference by the cellular components of whole blood. The method includes contacting the whole blood with a test device including a filter pad comprising a suitable carrier matrix optional- ly incorporating a lectin, a thrombin, or a mix- ture thereof, such that the cellular components of the whole blood are separated from the plasma or serum as the blood permeates through the filter pad. The essentially cell free plasma or serum then saturates a test pad that is in releasable contact with the filter pad. After the plasma or serum saturates the test pad, the filter pad is detached from the test pad, and the exposed test pad is examined for a qualitative or quanti- tative response to a particular soluble consti- tuent of the whole blood.
