The invention relates to a portable hand-held analytical device for analysis of a medically significant component of a sample, the device including a housing having a loading opening for receiving a replaceable drum cartridge containing analytical consumables, whereby the housing comprises on an outer side a dispensing opening through which the consumables can be pushed by means of a removal facility. The device includes a loading opening which is closeable by means of a lid, which upon closing effects a linear motion of a pushing part which moves the drum cartridge to a working position, in which it can be rotated about its geometric longitudinal axis.

Hand-held analytical device

The invention relates an analysis system having a positioning device for positioning a test element and a method for positioning the test element in the analysis system. The positioning device has a support surface for supporting the test element. A first switch component sits on the support element. A second switch component is positioned parallel to the first switch component. A connection is established when the second switch component is positioned in recess on the test element due to the displacement of the second switch component relative to the first switch component.
