  • Patent number: 7808645
    Abstract: The invention relates to an analysis system for analysing a sample on an analytical test element. The analysis system comprises a measuring module for carrying out measurements on the sample on the analytical test element and an optical module which comprises a lens and a diaphragm by which the light can be focused. The lens and the diaphragm of the optical module are combined as one piece in a multi-component injection-molded part.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5424035
    Abstract: Test strip analysis system includes an analysis apparatus with a test strip holding device (3) and matching test strips. The test strip holding device (3) serves to position the test strip (4) in a defined position relative to a measuring unit (11). It includes a test strip seating device (20) and a guide for the test strip. Exact positioning with simple handling and without sophisticated mechanical elements is achieved by the fact that at least one part of the test strip seating device (20), in the area in which, in the measuring position, the front section (12) of the test strip is located, is formed as a support (24) which is offset in height relative to the middle plane (22) of the test field area (13). The test strip holding device (3) includes a pressure element (33) which, in the measuring position presses between the support (24) and the test field area (13) of the test strip (4) against the side (34) opposite the seating device ( 20) of the latter.
