主权项

1. An apparatus to generate a diagnostic test result from an assay test strip, said apparatus comprising:
a. an optical reader aligned in an optical path with said assay test strip, wherein said optical reader is adapted to acquire an image detection on said assay test strip; b. a microprocessor in communication with said optical reader, wherein said microprocessor is adapted to signal said optical reader to perform image detection of said assay test strip to generate said diagnostic test result; and c. a removable module having said assay test strip, an insulated base supporting a test strip cavity, and an optical window positionable between said test strip cavity and said optical reader, and wherein said test strip cavity comprises an optics aperture illuminating said test strip cavity and said removable module blocks debris from contact through said optics aperture to said optical reader in an assembled position, and detaches from said optical reader to expose said optics aperture in a removed position.
