The present invention relates to a device for performing an assay, which device comprises a substrate having oriented through-going channels, said channels opening out on a surface for sample application, the channels in at least one area of the surface for sample application being provided with a first binding substance capable of binding to an analyte. The object of the present invention is to provide a substrate having both a high channel density and a high porosity, allowing high density arrays comprising different first binding substances to be applied to the surface for sample application. More in particular, the object of the present invention is to provide a device comprising a relatively cheap substrate that does not require the use of any typical microfabrication technology and, that offers an improved control over the liquid distribution over the surface of the substrate. The above objects are achieved with a device as mentioned above wherein the porous substrate is an electrochemically manufactured metal oxide membrane.

1. A method for the detection of an analyte in a sample, the method comprising the steps of a) contacting the sample with a device, which device comprises a substrate having through-going channels, said channels opening out on a surface for sample application, the channels in at least one area of the surface for sample application being provided with a first binding substance capable of binding to an analyte, wherein the substrate is an electrochemically manufactured metal oxide membrane and the first binding substance is within the through-going channels in the substrate; b) passing the sample through the membrane in one direction perpendicular to the surface of the membrane in a manner sufficient to allow binding to take place between the first binding substance and the analyte to be detected; c) repeating steps a) and b) by passing the sample through the membrane in the opposite direction; and d) detecting whether binding has occurred between the first binding substance and the analyte. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein steps a), b) and c) are repeated at least once before performing step d). 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the analyte comprises a nucleic acid. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the nucleic acid is derivable from a human immunodeficiency virus. 5. The method of claim 3, further comprising using the results of step d) to determine sequence information of the nucleic acid. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the analyte comprises an antibody, an antigen, a receptor, a hapten, or a ligand. 7. The method of claim 6, wherein the analyte is from a human immunodeficiency virus. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the first binding substance is an oligonucleotide. 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the first binding substance is a sequence of amino acids. 10. The method of claim 1, wherein the first binding substance is an antibody.
