Devices for detecting analytes or analogues thereof in a biological sample are disclosed. The device includes a solid support. The solid support has several juxtaposed zones. The sample is able to migrate from a sample receiving zone towards a detection zone. The analyte, if present, is detected in the detection zone. Both zones have material allowing a capillary flow of the sample through the zones. In between the zones, there is an intermediate zone of transport of the sample which is free from any capillary material. This allows the ample to migrate by gravitational forces on the support laid in a vertical position. Methods for detecting analytes or analogues thereof in a biological sample using the device are also disclosed.
