Abstract
A testing device for testing or analysing fluids comprises a separately produced holder () and a sheet-or plate-like test member () including analysis reagent. The holder defines an abutment surface () for engaging with a side surface of the test member. Projections () formed on the holder are positioned and shaped so as to allow insertion of the test member into the holder by moving the test member into engagement with said abutment surface while engaging with opposite edge portions thereof. The projections may, for example, be tooth-shaped and have pointed ends, and at least some of the projections may have a leading edge () forming a ramp sloping towards a plane defined by the abutment surface so as to facilitate insertion of the test member into the holder. A stack of such testing devices may be arranged within a cassette from which they may be fed successively into an automatic analyser. The holder of the testing device may be re-used.
