摘要

A device for automatic analysis of bodily secretions collected in an absorbent pad is disclosed. The device includes (a) a platform; (b) a first mechanism being supported by the platform for accepting, holding and advancing the absorbent pad along the platform; (c) a second mechanism being supported by the platform for identifying at least one location being suitable for the analysis; (d) a third mechanism being supported by the platform for exposing a portion of the absorbent pad; and (e) a fourth mechanism being supported by the platform for performing a biochemical analysis of the bodily secretions present in at least one of the locations.
