An integrated instrument processes fluid test samples using disposable test devices. The test devices are carried in a carrier. The instrument includes a vacuum station receiving the carrier for batch loading of the test devices with fluid samples to be tested. The user removes the carrier from the vacuum station and inserts it into a loading station of a separate carrier and test device processing subsystem. This subsystem includes a transport system moving the carrier through the instrument where various modules perform operations on the test devices, including sealing the test devices, loading the test devices into an incubation station, incubation of the test devices, test device reading, and test device disposal.

L'invention concerne un instrument intégré traitant des échantillons tests de fluides, au moyen de dispositifs de test jetables. Lesdits dispositifs de test sont contenus dans une porteuse. Ledit instrument comprend une station sous vide recevant une porteuse pour charger des lots de dispositifs de test comprenant des échantillons de fluide à tester. L'utilisateur retire la porteuse de la station sous vide et l'insère dans une station de chargement d'une porteuse séparée et un sous-système de traitement de dispositifs test. Ledit sous-système comprend un système de transport déplaçant la porteuse par l'intermédiaire de l'instrument, de nombreux modules effectuant des opérations sur les dispositifs tests, notamment la fermeture des dispositifs tests, le chargement de dispositifs tests dans une station d'incubation, l'incubation des dispositifs tests, la lecture du dispositif test, et l'élimination du dispositif test.
