ABSTRACT An assay device and method for detecting an analyte in a liquid sample derived from biological specimen (e.g. urine or serum). The device includes (a) a porous reaction membrane with an immobilized receptor which is capable of binding to the target substance, and (b) a body of absorbent material located adjacent to the porous reaction membrane which is capable of absorbing the liquid sample. The device also includes an elongate fluid port with a fluid seal disposed at the periphery of the fluid port defining a seal between a container wall and reaction membrane. Preferably, the reaction membrane is a strip and the fluid seal means is a continuous rim projecting from the container wall towards the strip. In one embodiment, the receptor is an antigen, preferably a protein blot (e.g. HIV), and the bindable target substance is antibody. A blocking solution (preferably 1-2% Tween-20 surfactant and BSA is applied to the membrane before sample addition.
