A method for measuring the concentration of an analyte in a sample of a biological fluid involves a hollow, frustum-shaped disposable device. The smaller end of the frustum has a porous membrane, to which the sample is applied. Preferably, a reagent in the membrane reacts with the analyte to cause a color change. The device is mounted on a meter, which measures the color change and computes from the change the analyte concentration in the sample. Preferably, the devices are released from the meter without touching them, to protect against contamination.

Méthode de mesure de la concentration d'un analyte dans un prélèvement de liquide biologique. Cette méthode comporte l'utilisation d'un dispositif creux jetable en forme de tronc. La plus petite extrémité du tronc est constituée d'une membrane poreuse, sur laquelle le prélèvement est appliqué. De préférence, un réactif dans la membrane réagit avec l'analyte pour provoquer un changement de couleur. Le dispositif est monté sur un appareil qui mesure le changement de couleur et calcule la concentration de l'analyte dans le prélèvement en fonction de ce changement. Il est préférable de retirer les dispositifs de l'appareil sans les toucher, afin d'éviter une contamination.
