Abstract
The invention concerns a process for producing reagent carriers having a binding capability that are suitable for determining analytes in liquids, wherein the process comprises at least one step of treating a respective reagent carrier body in particular by transferring material between a treatment device and the reagent carrier body in a preparation device and wherein this treatment step takes place on the moving reagent carrier body during its transport in the preparation device or during a movement of the treatment device relative to the reagent carrier body in the preparation device.
Claims7
A process for producing reagent carriers comprising a reagent for binding an analyte, the process comprising:
- providing reagent carrier bodies on a continually moving transport device,
- providing a treatment device for treating the reagent carrier bodies, wherein the treatment device comprises one or more of a drying device, an irradiating device, an optical monitoring device, a removal device, and a release device,
- transporting the carrier bodies via the transport device through a treatment zone wherein the treatment device remains positioned over the transport device through the treatment zone and wherein the treatment device and reagent carrier bodies move at a constant speed relative to one another through the treatment zone, and
- treating each carrier body via the treatment device as the reagent carrier body moves during its transport through the treatment zone.
