An apparatus for analyzing a body-fluid sample disposed on a reagent pad is provided with a light bulb for successively illuminating a plurality of different portions of the reagent pad on which the body-fluid sample is disposed and a detector array for detecting light received from the reagent pad and generating a plurality of reflectance signals in response to light received from a corresponding one of the different portions of the reagent pad. The apparatus is also provided with means for determining whether the magnitude of one of the reflectance signals is substantially different than the magnitude of another of the reflectance signals. Where the body-fluid sample is urine, this capability allows the apparatus to detect the presence of non-hemolyzed in the urine sample. The light bulb may successively illuminate a plurality of overlapping portions of the reagent pad, and may successively illuminate at least three different portions of the reagent pad which are linearly offset from each other.

Cette invention concerne un appareil d'analyse d'échantillons de liquide organique placés sur tampon réactif, équipé d'une ampoule permettant d'éclairer en succession différents secteurs du tampon et d'un groupement de détecteurs de la lumière provenant dudit tampon, groupement qui génère une pluralité de signaux de réflectance selon l'intensité de la lumière réfléchie par les différents secteurs du tampon. L'appareil comporte également un moyen de déterminer si l'amplitude d'un des signaux est sensiblement différente d'un autre des signaux de réflectance. Dans le cas de l'urine, ce moyen permet à l'appareil de détecter la présence de sang non hémolysé dans l'échantillon. L'ampoule est montée de façon à pouvoir éclairer successivement une pluralité de secteurs chevauchants du tampon réactif et à pouvoir éclairer en succession au moins trois secteurs différents décalés l'un de l'autre.
