摘要:
Test device apparatus is disclosed containing a electrically conductive region which provides information concerning the nature of the test device and/or its position. In a preferred embodiment a conductive strip is applied to a test device and used to determine the identification of the test device, the position of the test device and/or calibrate an instrument which is used to read the test device. The conductive strip generates a signal by measuring the resistance ratio of the electrical path through its conductive region using three or more electrodes or probes. The signal obtained by the electrodes is used to determine the characteristics indicated above or to program operational parameters within an instrument used to analyze the test device.
摘要:
A method for volume metering of a liquid sample onto a reactive surface and a flow metering capillary device for controlled fluid flow comprising two opposing surface areas spaced apart throughout a capillary zone of intended liquid transport at a distance no greater than that which will maintain a capillary flow of liquid introduced therebetween, means to permit Introduction of a test specimen between these surfaces, there being formed between said opposing surfaces an overflow channel and an overflow chamber which draws any excess liquid from the means for introducing the liquid between the surfaces.
