Disclosed is a disposable diagnostic device for conducting a diagnostic test on a sample. The device includes a substantially planar, flexible article, a channel formed within the article, at least one fluid-receiving compartment formed within the article and fluidly connectable to the channel, and a solid phase movably positioned within the channel. The article may be a laminate, and in particular, a laminate formed from two substantially planar, flexible sheets laminated together.

1. A method of manipulating a container, comprising:providing a container having a reaction channel fluidly coupled to a plurality of compartments, including a sample receiving compartment and a signal detection compartment, wherein at least one of the compartments includes a reagent; introducing a sample into the sample receiving compartment; contacting a first portion of a surface of the container with a device having a plurality of independently operable actuators, wherein at least one of the actuators compresses a portion of the container thereby moving at least part of the sample into the reaction channel; contacting a second portion of the surface of the container with another one of the actuators that compresses a portion of the container thereby preventing a movement of at least one of the part of the sample and the reagent between at least two of the plurality of compartments; and moving the part of the sample in at least one of a unidirectional and bi-directional movement between the sample receiving compartment and the sample detection compartment using the plurality of actuators.
