Device For Analyzing a Liquid Sample
First Claim
1. A fluid analysis device comprising:
- a housing;
a measurement engine located within the housing suitable for carrying out measurements;
the measurement engine including a test interface;
the test interface being sized and shaped to receive a test element therein; and
a waste container movably coupled to the housing, the waste container having a containing position and an access position, the waste container being sized and shaped such that a liquid sample can be applied to a test element positioned in the test interface when the waste container is in the containing position.

Abstract
The invention relates to an analysis device for analyzing a sample liquid (8) by means of a test element (5). The analysis device comprises a measuring arrangement for carrying out measurements on a sample liquid (8) taken up onto a test element (5). The measuring arrangement is accommodated in a housing (1) and comprises a test element receptacle unit. In the test element receptacle unit, the test element can assume at least one sample application position and an analysis position. Furthermore, the analysis device has a waste container (12) movably connected to the housing (1) and serving for receiving test elements (5, 17) after measurements have been carried out on the sample liquid (8) on the test elements (5) in the analysis position. The waste container (12) is arranged in such a way that a sample uptake location of a test element (5) positioned in the sample application position is accessible.
