SAMPLE FLUID TESTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING A SAMPLE FLUID
First Claim
1. A sample fluid testing device for analyzing a sample fluid, comprising a test media tape comprising a tape and a plurality of test media portions, each test media portion containing a sensor field for producing electrical signals when the sample fluid is applied and at least two electrodes, the at least two electrodes being positioned in the sensor field and being electrically connected to at least two contact fields on the test media portion, characterized by at least one roller with a surface, which contains at least one contact zone, the at least one roller being in rolling engagement with the test media tape with its surface in order to successively electrically contact the test media portions via at least one contact field with the at least one contact zone, the at least one contact zone on the at least one roller being electrically connected to a meter for measuring the electrical signals.

Abstract
The invention refers to a sample fluid testing device for analyzing a sample fluid, comprising a test media tape (1) comprising a tape (2) and a plurality of test media portions (3), each test media portion (3) containing a sensor field (7) for producing electrical signals, when the sample fluid is applied and at least two electrodes (4), the at least two electrodes (4) being positioned in the sensor field (7) and being electrically connected to at least two contact fields (5). The sample fluid testing device contains at least one roller with a surface (17), which contains at least one contact zone (14), the at least one roller (12, 13) being in rolling engagement with the test media tape (1) with its surface (17) in order to successively electrically contact the test media portions (3) via at least one contact field (5) with the at least one contact zone (14), the at least one contact zone (14) on the at least one roller (12, 13) being electrically connected to a meter for measuring the electrical signals.
