1. An immunochemical assay device for detecting one or more targets of interest in a fluid sample, comprising:
a base member, an array disposed on said base member, said array comprising:
a. a reservoir pad having sufficient porosity and volume to receive and contain a fluid sample upon which an assay is to be performed;
b. a wicking membrane disposed distally to said reservoir pad, said wicking membrane having sufficient porosity and volume to absorb a substantial proportion of the sample received in said reservoir pad; and
c. a dye zone impregnated therein one or more of first immunochemical components conjugated to one or more of indicia labels,
d. an assay indicia zone disposed in said wicking membrane, wherein one or more of second immunochemical components are immobilized,
wherein the one or more of first immunochemical components comprise first immunochemical members,
wherein the one or more of second immunochemical components comprise second immunochemical members, and
wherein each of the first immunochemical member of said one or more of first immunochemical components has a respective second immunochemical member in said one or more of second immunochemical components, said first immunochemical and second immunochemical members are capable of binding specifically to the same target of said one or more of targets of interest to form an immuno-complex.
