Apparatus for analyzing urine

An apparatus for the analysis of urine, comprising:

• a feed and discharge device, which is set up to deliver a certain quantity of urine to an analysis chamber of a urine test strip comprising at least one analysis zone and for carrying away a certain quantity of urine from an analysis chamber of a urine test strip comprising at least one analysis zone, wherein the feed and discharge device comprises at least one movably supported feed and/or discharge element for delivering a certain quantity of urine to a delivery zone of the analysis chamber of the urine test strip and/or to carry away a certain quantity of urine from a discharge zone of the analysis chamber of the urine test strip;
• and
• a detection device, which is set up to detect a change, at least in a certain area, in at least one optically detectable parameter of the at least one corresponding analysis zone of the urine test strip or of a corresponding test strip, which parameter changes in an optically detectable manner as a function of the composition of a quantity of urine contacting the analysis zone, and to generate detection data which describe at least one optically detectable parameter of the analysis zone or of a corresponding zone or which describe a change in such a parameter.
