14. A method of testing a property of a fluid specimen, said method comprising:
-
applying a fluid specimen to a test strip movably coupled to a test scale card bearing a comparison scale, wherein the test strip includes a reaction zone that is altered upon contact with the fluid sample; and
moving the test strip with respect to the comparison scale to align the reaction zone with a matching region in the comparison scale indicating information about the fluid specimen characteristic being tested;
wherein the test strip remains coupled to the test scale card during applying of the fluid specimen. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
