• The patient specimen is diluted and added to both sample wells of the device
• Antibody-coated color particles bind with target antigen in the diluted sample
• The color-antibody/antigen complex moves along the test membrane
• Immobilised antibodies specific to target antigen capture the color-labelled antigen complex at the test region, causing a clearly visible line to appear
• This line will not appear in the absence of specific antigen
• Immobilised, non-specific antibodies in the control region capture the color-labelled antibodies, whether antigen is present or not, resulting in a clearly visible control line
