1. A test strip configured to receive a sample for detection of an analyte therein, the test strip comprising:
- a substrate; and
a coating on a portion of the substrate, the coating comprising a combination of a first analyte capture agent configured to bind to a first analyte and a second analyte capture agent configured to bind to a second analyte that is different from the first analyte.

Abstract
Devices, systems, and methods for detecting the presence of one or more analytes in a sample are described. In some variations, a test strip may be used to detect and/or analyze one or more analytes in a sample. In certain variations, a test strip configured to receive a sample for detection of an analyte therein may comprise a substrate and a coating on a portion of the substrate, the coating comprising a combination of a first analyte capture agent configured to bind to a first analyte and a second analyte capture agent configured to bind to a second analyte that is different from the first analyte.

13. A method for detecting at least one analyte in a sample comprising:
-
applying the sample to a portion of a test strip comprising a coating comprising a first analyte capture agent configured to bind to a first analyte and a second analyte capture agent configured to bind to a second analyte that is different from the first analyte; and applying light to the test strip, wherein the application of light to the test strip provides an indication of whether the first analyte is present in the sample. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)

29. A point-of-care system for detecting an analyte in a sample, the point-of-care system comprising:
-
an apparatus comprising a first laser, a second laser that is different from the first laser, and a housing comprising a receptacle; and a test strip configured to fit within the receptacle, wherein the first laser is configured to apply a first beam to a location on the test strip when the test strip is positioned in the receptacle, and the second laser is configured to apply a second beam to the same location on the test strip when the test strip is positioned in the receptacle. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55)

-
56. A method for detecting at least one analyte in a sample comprising:
-
applying the sample to a test strip; applying a first beam from a first laser of a point-of-care diagnostic system to a location on the test strip; and applying a second beam from a second laser of the point-of-care diagnostic system to the same location on the test strip, wherein the application of the first and second beams to the location on the test strip provides an indication of whether the at least one analyte is present in the sample. - View Dependent Claims (57)
