Abstract: A diagnostic device for use in performing clinical tests on a fluid, including a light transmitting plate and a panel adhered to and substantially covering the plate. The panel has an opening therein formed and a strip of pH testing material, substantially smaller than the panel, is fixed between the plate and the panel to fill substantially the opening, wherein the pH testing material produces a color indicative of fluid pH upon contact with the fluid. A window formed in the panel exposes a portion of the plate wherein the panel forms a wall on the perimeter of the window to confine fluid applied to the plate, within an area defined by the window.

Abstract: A diagnostic kit for use in performing clinical tests on a fluid specimen includes slides with attached slipcovers, tests solutions for facilitating microscopic analysis procedures, a differential diagnosis chart to provide an immediate visual indication of any microscopy including syndrome identifiers and diagnostic criteria, specimen obtaining sterile applicators, and test result cards. Each individual slide is a transparent plate covered by a panel overlay that is sufficiently thick for defining a plurality of test site wells. Indicia indicators disposed on the panel overlay adjacent to each individual test site well, provides technical assistance in the performance of diagnostic analysis on a fluid specimen deposited within each test site well. Each test site well is sufficiently deep to confine the fluid specimen as well as a measured drop quantity of one or more of the test solutions.
