Abstract
A cassette removably holds assay strips. The cassette includes a cover and a base. The base includes a first face and a second face, the second face opposed across a thickness of the base from the first face. The base has at least a first channel in the first face that extends along at least a portion of the base, the at least first channel having a width, a length and a depth, at least the width and the depth of the first channel sized to at least partially receive an assay strip therein. The cover has a first face and a second face, the second face opposed across a thickness of the cover from the first face. The cover is releasably securable to the base in at least two orientations to alternatively expose a first set of markings and a second set of markings. The first and the second set of markings are carried by at least one of the cover or the base. The first set of markings is indicative of a first type of assay strip and the second set of markings is indicative of a second type of assay strip; the second set of markings being different from the first set of markings. The two different orientations include a first orientation in which the first face of the cover is exposed and the second face of the cover is adjacent one of the first or the second faces of the base, and a second orientation in which the second face of the cover is exposed and the first face of the cover is adjacent one of the first or the second faces of the base.
