Abstract

In the apparatus for fixing the position of the test zones of a test strip and for reversing the latter, a guide (8) opens into a reversing device (1, 1a) for the test strips (2). Between the guide and the reversing device is arranged a closing means (9) for the guide, which is connected to a holding device (10) via a lever (5). The holding device (10) projects into the guide and is mounted rotatably in synchronism with the closing means (9). It is also equipped with a drive device (7). The reversing device has a moveable stop (4, 4a) which is driven by a position-detection means (3) arranged in the guide (8).
