Benefits of technology

[0010]The mixing chamber that can be closed with a lid allows for a sample to be mixed with a further reactant prior to application to the measuring strip, optionally to be allowed to react and to be incubated. The fluid opening that can be opened allows for a sample prepared in such a manner to be allowed to flow to the measuring strip in a simple way.
[0027]It is advantageous if the sample is incubated in the sample chamber for a period of time. Subsequently, it is provided for the bottom of the sample chamber to be pierced with a pin in the lid. This allows for the sample to flow from the device onto a test strip in the test strip holder.

Problems solved by technology

This device has a complicated set-up, is expensive to produce and the use is cumbersome.

Embodiment Construction

[0038]FIG. 1 shows the device 1 for a test strip holder 2 in which a lateral flow immunoassay test 3 with two test strips 4 and 5 is arranged.

[0039]Test strip holder 2 consists of two tray-shaped parts 6, 7 which are connected with one another and between which test strips 4, 5 are received. Test strips 4, 5 each have two test lines designed as test lines 8, 9 and control lines 10, 11. The result can be read through a reaction window 12, 13 formed in the upper tray-shaped part 7.

[0040]A nitrocellulose membrane 14 is disposed in test strip holder 2, which allows sample volumes to flow to test lines 8, 9 and control lines 10, 11. Afterwards, the sample collects in a collecting pad 15 at the end of the test strip holder.

[0041]Device 1 consists of a housing 16 on which a lid 19 is attached via two flexible straps 17 and 18. Housing 16 comprises in its lower section a holding and positioning device 20, which holds and positions test strip holder 2 by means of two sidewalls 21, 22. Hence,...

Abstract

For the simplified use of a test strip holder, a device having a holding or positioning device is provided, comprising a mixing chamber, a lid for closing the mixing chamber, and an obvious fluid opening for a fluid passage from the mixing chamber to the test strip holder. This allows for the test strip holder to be inserted into the device in a simple way and a sample can be prepared in the mixing chamber of the device. The device is provided with a mixing chamber that can be closed, wherein a reaction partner, for example a gold conjugate, can be dissolved in the sample for increasing the sensitivity of the test strip.
