Appl. No.:

11/933292

International Classification:

G01N 15/06

US Classification:

422 681

Abstract:

A dry test strip assembly includes: a carrier base having a test port and a well adapted for receiving a dry test strip element, and a cover having a sample opening. The cover can be snapped onto the base with the sample opening aligned over the test port and with a test strip element compressed between the base and cover. A maximum dry test strip compression stop controls the maximum compression on the dry test strip, and a minimum dry test strip compression stop controls the minimum compression on the dry test strip. A rib between two test ports prevents fluid flow in the dry test strip element from one side of the rib to another, thereby separating the test strip element into a plurality of separate fluid compartments. A manufacturing system efficiently assembles the dry test strip assembly without handling by humans.

International Classification:

G01N 33/50

US Classification:

205792, 20440302, 20440304, 294262

Abstract:

A method of determining concentrations of a plurality of analytes from a single blood sample placed in a single opening. A portion of the single blood sample is absorbed by a test matrix that includes a plurality of layers and a chromogenic agent. A colored response is generated by the test matrix. The colored response is proportional to the concentration of a first analyte. A portion of the single blood sample is drawn into a capillary tube and placed in contact with an electrode and a counter-electrode. An electrical property of the single blood sample is analyzed through the electrode and counter-electrode. The electrical property is proportional to the concentration of a second analyte in the single blood sample.

Robert Huffstodt - Indianapolis IN, US

Assignee:

Polymer Technology Systems, Inc. - Indianapolis IN

International Classification:

G01N 33/48
B65B 61/20

US Classification:

422401, 53445

Abstract:

A plurality of different types of dry strips are packaged in a single-user container. Strip-specific scheduling information for using the dry test strips is placed either in or on the container. The scheduling information may be provided to the packager by a physician and may be stored on an electronically or optically readable storage device packaged with the test strips. The storage device may be a memory, which memory may be inserted into a dry test strip reader and the scheduling information may be communicated to the user either visually or audibly.

Abstract:

A system for determining a level of a lipid analyte corrected for hematocrit includes a test strip configured to receive a sample and a meter configured to receive the test strip. The system further includes circuitry and a microprocessor, the circuitry and microprocessor configured to read the test strip and the sample and determine a level of a lipid analyte and correct the level of the lipid analyte based on a hematocrit level of the sample.
