  • Patent number: 9151754
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to diagnostic test devices that provide increased comfort and ease of use. The diagnostic test device can include a test member, such as a lateral flow assay test strip. The test device can further comprise a housing that comprises a substantially arch shaped handle. The housing of the test device can comprise a base member that is attached to a curved lower surface of the housing and that can improve stability of the device in an upward facing position as well as enable angled positioning of the device relative to a flat, horizontal surface. The curvature of the test device in particular can provide secure handling of the device while also improving ease and comfort of use thereof. The disclosure further relates to methods of determining the presence of an analyte in a fluid sample and methods for evaluating a test result of a personal use diagnostic test device.

  • Publication number: 20090308889
    Abstract: A container system includes a concentrate component having at least one concentrate container, each including a vessel defining a cavity, and a neck portion extending from the vessel, an opening extending through the neck portion and in fluid communication with the cavity, a concentrate stored in the cavity, and a seal which is operatively associated with the opening for sealing the concentrate within the cavity. The container system further includes a main component having a main container including an opening and a cavity in fluid communication with the opening, a coupling means located at the opening of the main container for receiving and fluidly coupling with the neck portion of the concentrate container, and a discharge mechanism operatively associated with the coupling means, wherein the discharge mechanism is adapted for operatively engaging the sealing means to initiate the release of the concentrate from the concentrate container into the cavity of the main container.
