Abstract: Reader and plate methods, operations, and systems for observing a biological sample are shown and described. In one embodiment, a device for observing biological growth, when present, on a growth plate, includes an imaging device and a variable positioning nest. The nest may include a first sunken frame to receive a first growth plate, and an offset second sunken frame to receive a distinct second growth plate in an operating position offset about the first operating position.

Abstract: Analyte testing devices, assemblies, methods, operations, and systems are shown and described. In one embodiment, an apparatus to generate a test result from an assay when contacted with a sample includes a non-planar optics module to align the assay in an offset testing position. A modular interface assembly may support a motherboard and at least one non-planar optics module.
