A measuring apparatus for determining an analyte in a liquid sample includes the following apparatus components: a test element with a test field for applying the liquid sample, the test element experiencing a detectable modification due to the analyte to be determined, a detector which detects the modification and generates an electrical detector signal as a function of it, an evaluation circuit arranged downstream of the detector, which evaluates the detector signal to form a measurement result, a display device connected to the evaluation circuit for displaying the measurement result, and an electrical power supply for supplying electrical power to the electrical apparatus components. At least some of the electrical apparatus components are formed on the basis of polymer electronics so that the analyte can be determined straightforwardly, conveniently and inexpensively.

A device for the storage of at least one of solid, liquid or gaseous objects. The device including at least one compartment that is configured to contain at least one object. The filling or emptying of the compartment triggers an electrically-readable signal. In one embodiment, the compartment may be mechanically modified and an electrically-readable signal is generated based on a corresponding mechanical change to the compartment. An electrical data memory with at least one memory cell is integrated into the device. The memory cell is assigned to the compartment. The memory cell is configured to adopt a value corresponding to the mechanical change to the compartment. The device also includes an analytical circuit for reading the data memory.

A system for automated treatment of fluids having interchangeable process modules (), which are arranged next to each other, and which are respectively provided with a control unit and a fluid unit. The fluid unit is controlled by the control unit in order to carry out a module-specific process function during the treatment of the fluids. The control units are interconnected via a data bus (), which is common to the process modules (), and the fluid units are interconnected by a fluid bus () that has several channels. A fluid bus section is provided for at least one part of the channels inside each process module (e.g.,). This section has fluid bus interfaces () at the ends thereof. A connection unit () is configured to be mounted between the respectively adjacent fluid bus interfaces () of two successive process modules (e.g.,) in at least two different mounting positions. The connection unit () connects channel sections that terminate at the adjacent fluid bus interfaces () of both process modules () in a series of different configurations.
