Abstract: A device for fluid assay comprising a carousel (12), mounted about a hub (14), disposed in a complementary shaped housing (16). The carousel (12) is divided into a plurality of chambers (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30) disposed radially about the hub (14). The chambers (20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30) are arranged into pairs which are disposed diametrically opposite one another and which communicate with each other via the hub (14).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for use in fluid assay, in particular for assaying body fluids such as blood and urine. The device comprises a sample reservoir for a fluid sample to be assayed, the reservoir having an inlet port and an outlet port. The device comprises a fluid sample receiving zone in fluid communication with the reservoir via the inlet port and an excess fluid sample detection zone in fluid communication with the reservoir via the outlet port.

Abstract: A apparatus for assaying glycated proteins and other analytes in biological samples such as blood, in which a sample is presented to the apparatus, includes an inlet port between moveable between first and second inlets, such that the inlet can be brought into liquid communication with each inlet in turn. The inlet port accommodates a filter or binder. The apparatus also includes a microprocessor operable via a key pad, at least one light emitter and at least one light detector, a display and driver, and an A to D converter, and is operatively connected to a power source.
