MICRO-CAPILLARY SYSTEM HAVING INCREASED SAMPLE VOLUME

摘要

The invention relates to a test element (156) for detecting at least one analyte in a sample of a body fluid. The test element (156) comprises at least one lancet (110), wherein at least two capillaries (112) for receiving the body fluid are accommodated in the lancet (110). The test element (156) further comprises at least two test fields (144), wherein the test fields (144) comprise at least one chemical test system (146). The chemical test system (146) is designed to change at least one measurable property when the analyte is present. The test element (156) is equipped to transfer the body fluid received in the capillaries (112) to the test fields (144).
