A system for diagnostic testing may include a meter for performing a diagnostic test on a sample applied to a test media, the meter having a housing and an interface for receiving a signal representing coding information, and a container configured to contain test media compatible with the meter, the container having a coding element associated therewith. Additionally, the system may provide a mechanism for removing the meter from an interconnected test container and reattaching it to a new container using on-container coding methods that can recalibrate the meter for the new container of test strips.

Storage containers are disclosed for storing at least one diagnostic test element including an enzyme and a stabilized coenzyme. In addition, diagnostic products such as test elements are disclosed that include an enzyme and a stabilized coenzyme, as well as analytical measuring devices including such storage containers and/or diagnostic products. Other aspects include, but are not limited to, unique methods, techniques, products, systems and devices involving test elements, such as test strips, including the enzyme and the stabilized coenzyme.

The present disclosure relates to a test strip handling device (100) that includes a housing (110) having an interior compartment (112) in which the test strips are received and stored. The device (100) facilitates sanitary handling and disposal of the test strips.

The present invention provides for an apparatus, including: a lancing device; a cartridge; where the lancing device is configured to house the cartridge; where the cartridge is configured to house a plurality of test strips and a glucose monitoring apparatus; where the glucose monitoring apparatus is configured to determine a glucose test result from at least one test strip of the plurality of test strips.

Devices and methods for providing and dispensing opposables onto slides are provided in which magazines loaded with opposables include retention arms to reduce movement of the opposables during shipment and processing and to reduce or eliminate contamination.
