A method for indicating the stage of menopause in a human female comprises receiving a collection of input data comprising at least one of cycle information, age, and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) information; assigning a category to each input data; determining, based on the category, the stage of menopause for the subject; and outputting the determined stage of menopause. Another method for indicating the stage of menopause comprises obtaining a plurality of samples of body fluid from the subject, each sample being obtained on alternate, consecutive or pre-defined non-consecutive days; testing each of the plurality of samples to determine information relating to a follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) concentration; comparing the concentration of FSH to a threshold; assigning a FSH category based on a number of samples with a FSH concentration above the threshold; and determining, based on the FSH category of the subject, a stage of menopause.

A lateral flow testing device includes a main body adapted to support an element for collecting a sample. The element is supported at a distal end of the testing device and is in fluid communication with one or more testing components having an analyte detection zone for detecting one or more analytes present in said sample. The testing components produce visual information related to said sample, thereby informing the user of the outcome of a test. The device incorporates a handle reconfigurable with respect to said main body such that in a first handle configuration, the handle hinders sight of the visual information to improve privacy of the test, and in a second handle configuration, the handle facilitates the collection of said sample by increasing a distance between a proximal end of the testing device and the element.
The present invention provides assay devices and methods for detecting the presence of an analyte in a sample. Devices according to the invention include a reagent zone, one or more capture zones and a detection zone. Capture zones can reduce the quantity of labelled conjugate that reaches the detection zone in the presence of a negative marker in the sample and/or in the absence of a positive marker in the sample, facilitating high sensitivity and improved specificity testing.
