Abstract: This invention provides a reader device (10) for a test strip (14) (in particular an immunoassay test strip). The reader device has a channel (12) for receiving the test strip, and a movable sensor (26, 28, 30) located adjacent to said channel. The sensor comprises a source of radiation (26) and a detector (28, 30) for detecting the intensity of emitted radiation. The reader device also has a calibrating attenuator (50) allowing variations in the intensity of radiation emitted by the source to be detected and thereby eliminated or compensated. The invention also provides a method of using the reader device.
