Abstract: The invention relates to a device and method for depleting acidic gases, in particular CO2, from gas mixtures, in particular respiratory gas, using hydroxide compounds and moisture absorbing substances in the form of super-absorbing polymer or vermiculite.
Abstract: A test cassette for the detection of analytes from fluid samples is provided which has a housing (1, 2) with an inlet opening and with a reservoir for receiving a fluid sample containing the analyte. A separate carrier platform (3) can be horizontally displaced in the housing (1, 2), for fixing one or more flexible, strip-like, capillary-active detection elements. The carrier platform (3) in the housing (1, 2) is designed such that the capillary-active detection elements are deflected from the longitudinal direction of the strips and dip into the fluid sample in the reservoir during a lateral motion of the carrier platform (3).
