Abstract
A test device for analyzing fluid samples. The test device includes a planar support member for supporting reagent pads, and a handle attached to, or for attaching to the planar support member. The test device can be treated with a fluid sample by disposing a fluid sample on the reagent pads. The fluid sample can be disposed onto the reagent pads by the handle, or by dipping the test device into the fluid sample.
Claims10
A fluid test device, comprising:
- a planar support member having a top surface, a bottom surface, and an outer peripheral edge;
- one or more reagent pads disposed on the bottom surface of the planar support member in a way that at least a portion of each of the reagent pads extends from a bottommost portion of the bottom surface of the planar support member in a direction away from the top surface;
- and
- a handle extending from the top surface of the planar support member such that the handle is disposed entirely within a zone defined by an area of space extending from an entirety of the outer peripheral edge in a direction perpendicular to the top surface and the bottom surface of the planar support member.
