Abstract: In the apparatus for fixing the position of the test zones of a test strip and for reversing the latter, a guide (8) opens into a reversing device (1,1a) for the test strips (2). Between the guide and the reversing device is arranged a closing means (9) for the guide, which is connected to a holding device (10) via a lever (5). The holding device (10) projects into the guide and is mounted rotatably in synchronism with the closing means (9). It is also equipped with a drive device (7). The reversing device has a moveable stop (4, 4a) which is driven by a position-detection means (3) arranged in the guide (8).

Abstract: In the apparatus for separating test strips, a supply container (1) for the test strips (13) is provided with an orifice (14). Arranged in this orifice (14) is a transport device (12) which is equipped with a guide plate (7) and with drivers (3) and which has noses (10, 19). The noses (10, 19) interact with a moveably arranged bar (11) which projects into the orifice of the container.

Abstract: In the apparatus for feeding test strips automatically into an analyzer, in order to separate these, fix the position of the test zones and reverse the test strips and moisten their test zones with liquid, a supply container (1) for the test strips (13) is equipped with an orifice (14), in which a transport device (12) is arranged. The transport device is equipped with a guide plate (7) and with drivers and has noses (19, 19a) which interact with a moveably arranged bar (11) projecting into the orifice (14). The guide plate (7) merges into a guide (8) which opens into a reversing device (2, 2a). Between guide (8) and reversing device is arranged a closing means (9) for the guide (8), the said closing means being connected via a lever (5) to a holding device (10) for the test strips (13), and the holding device projects into the guide and is mounted rotatably in synchronism with the closing means. It is also equipped with a drive device (16).
