Abstract

This application describes a casing for a diagnostic test strip. The casing contains two openings. One of the openings is defined by four sides, two of which, positioned opposite each other, terminate in a ridge. The ridge terminates short of the point where the diagnostic test strip is placed. A small gap results. This gap assists in metering liquid to the diagnostic test strip.
