1. An apparatus for analysis of a biological sample, comprising:
- a test assembly comprising an inner wall defining a sample-receiving chamber, and a median wall that together with the inner wall defines a test chamber, the sample-receiving chamber and the test chamber capable of fluid communication via an opening, an assay test strip disposed in the test chamber;
a base movably mounted on the test assembly, the base moveable between a closed position and an open position to achieve movement of a valve dimensioned for engagement with the opening.
