New apparatus for detecting substances in bodily fluids comprises hollow casing divided into chambers which hold absorbent substrates

摘要

An apparatus (A) for detecting substances in bodily fluids from a living organism, especially humans, is new and comprises a hollow casing, divided by connectable walls, into chambers containing absorbent substrates. An apparatus (A) for detecting substances in bodily fluids from a living organism, especially humans, is new and comprises a hollow casing (1) divided, by connectable walls (2), into chambers (4) containing absorbent substrates (5), such as test strips. (2) are moisture impermeable connectable walls. The chambers are sealed and separated from each other and adjacent chambers are provided in the upper wall of the casing, with absorbent substrates which can be introduced. One or more test samples may be applied. These develop on the substrates or a membrane with immobilized reaction components. Substrates and/or wall sections and/or casing sections are elastomeric or deformable and/or resettable.
