A two step lateral flow assay method for identifying IgE antibodies in a sample comprises applying a sample to a sample port of a device, wherein the device is adapted to deliver the sample to a lateral flow matrix having a plurality of IgE antigen species immobilized at respective positions at a first location; allowing the sample to travel along the lateral flow matrix through the immobilized plurality of IgE antigen species to a second location downstream of the first location; and, after a predetermined period of time, applying liquid buffer to the lateral flow matrix to mobilize labeled reagent which is adapted to bind anti-IgE antibody and which is dried on the lateral flow matrix at a location upstream of the sample port delivery of the sample to the lateral flow matrix, and allowing labeled reagent mobilized by the liquid buffer to travel along the lateral flow matrix through the immobilized plurality of IgE antigen species and bind with any IgE antibody bound to the immobilized IgE antigen species, and to travel to a second location downstream of the first location where the mobilized labeled reagent causes a visible change to occur at the second location.

1. A two-step lateral flow immunoassay device for identifying specific IgE antibodies in a sample, comprising a housing provided with a sample port, a buffer port upstream of the sample port, a result window downstream of the sample port, and a control window downstream of the result window,a buffer well upstream of the sample port to receive a quantity of liquid buffer applied through the buffer port,a lateral flow path within the housing, extending from the buffer well to the result window and comprising a lateral flow matrix, wherein the lateral flow matrix is a single main strip of nitrocellulose or polymer flow material extending from a position upstream of the sample port to a position downstream of the result window and providing an unimpeded liquid flow path therein,dried, labeled reagent to bind IgE antibody, the labeled reagent being arranged on the lateral flow path downstream of the buffer well and upstream of the sample port, wherein the labeled reagent is mobilized in the lateral flow matrix by liquid buffer passing from the buffer well along the lateral flow matrix,a plurality of IgE antigen species individually immobilized at respective positions on the lateral flow matrix at a first detection zone location which is visible through the result window, andunlabeled IgE or anti mouse antibody immobilized on the lateral flow path at a second location which is downstream of the first detection zone location and which is visible through the control window. 2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the lateral flow path comprises, at its upstream end, an upstream wick for delivery of a liquid buffer from the buffer well to the lateral flow matrix. 3. The device according to claim 2, wherein the labeled reagent is provided on the upstream wick of the lateral flow path. 4. The device according to claim 3, wherein the lateral flow path comprises, at its downstream end, a downstream wick on which the unlabeled IgE or anti mouse antibody is immobilized. 5. The device according to claim 4, wherein the main strip of flow material extends from the upstream wick to the downstream wick. 6. The device according to claim 5, wherein the main strip of flow material is a nitrocellulose matrix. 7. The device according to claim 1, wherein the housing is provided with one sample port and one buffer port, wherein the device comprises two lateral flow paths, two result windows and two control windows, and wherein each lateral flow path is associated with a respective result window and a respective control window and wherein each lateral flow path comprises a lateral flow matrix in the form of a single main strip of nitrocellulose or polymer extending from a position upstream of the sample port to a position downstream of the respective result window and providing an unimpeded liquid flow path therein. 8. The device according to claim 7, wherein the two lateral flow paths are substantially parallel. 9. The device according to claim 1, further comprising a blood separation system between the sample port and the lateral flow matrix. 10. The device according to claim 9, wherein the blood separation system comprises at least one layer of material to aggregate red blood cells therein. 11. The device according to claim 9, wherein the blood separation system comprises at least one layer of material containing an aggregating agent for aggregating red blood cells therein. 12. The device according to claim 11, wherein the aggregating agent comprises mannitol. 13. The device according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of IgE antigen species are attached to immobilized particles which exhibit hydrophilic groups on their surface and have a diameter smaller than a smallest inner dimension of flow channels of the lateral flow matrix in the first location, the particles being immobilized on the lateral flow matrix at the first location. 14. The device according to claim 1, wherein the labeled reagent comprises anti-IgE antibody labeled with a metal sol. 15. The device according to claim 1, wherein the main strip of flow material comprises cellulosic material, nylon or silicone. 16. A kit for identifying IgE antibodies in a sample, comprising a capillary for collecting a quantity of whole blood, and the device according to claim 1, wherein the device receives the quantity of whole blood from the capillary. 17. The kit according to claim 16, further comprising liquid buffer in an amount sufficient to mobilize the labeled reagent and transport the labeled reagent along the lateral flow matrix to the second location.
