First Claim
1. An improved testing device having a testing mode, said device for receipt of a fluid specimen to be tested being of the type having a cup with a lid, said lid having a top, a bottom surface of said top, a top perimeter and a lid side wall, said lid able to be attached to said cup in fluid-tight relationship, comprising:
- a chamber having a bottom and a side wall, said chamber side wall disposed in contact with said bottom surface of said lid top within and spaced away from said lid side wall defining a space therebetween, said space between said chamber and said lid defining a reagent strip fluid contact space, said chamber side wall having at least one notch defined therein;
said lid'"'"'s top being transparent; and
a reagent strip having a length, a first end portion and a second end portion, said reagent strip having a color change testing area disposed along its length disposed under said transparent top of said lid, said second end portion extending through said notch in said chamber side wall and into said reagent strip fluid contact space, said device in its testing mode with a fluid specimen contained within said cup and said lid attached thereto, to be inverted, causing said fluid to flow into said reagent strip fluid contact space and come in contact with said second end portion of said reagent strip and causing a change of color in said color change testing area which test result can be viewed through said transparent top of said lid.
