Test strip holder for a reagent test strip
First Claim
1. A test strip holder for a reagent test strip, said reagent test strip having a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a reaction zone, said test strip holder comprising:
- a a base comprising a detection aperture;
b an engaging means able to engage said distal portion, said engaging means comprising;
i a first deflection surface able to deflect said distal portion in a first direction;
ii a second deflection surface able to deflect said distal portion in a second direction; and
wherein said reaction zone is in approximate or substantial alignment with said detection aperture when said distal portion is fully engaged.
