Zusammenfassung:Transport mechanism for metering systems that can dispense a test sensor or strip from an internal cassette or cartridge of the metering system in an orientation such that a user can view both the sample application window of the strip and the visual display of the metering system simultaneously. The transport apparatus is provided for moving a test sensor from a storage location where the test sensor has a first planar orientation to a test location where the test sensor has a second planar orientation that is different from the first planar orientation. The transport apparatus comprises a frame, driving device, connector, and first and second reorientation systems for rotating the test sensor around it axes. La présente invention a trait à des dispositifs d'essai pour la mesure de la concentration d'un analyte dans un échantillon fluide. Plus particulièrement, l'invention a trait à des mécanismes de transport destinés à être utilisés avec de tels dispositifs d'essai pour le déplacement d'un capteur d'essai ou analogue entre diverses positions de fonctionnement d'un dispositif d'essai telles qu'une position de stockage et une position d'essai.
