A test strip (132) to assist in determining the concentration of an analyte in a fluid sample comprises a base (132), at least one tab (134a,b) and a break line (136a,b). The base includes a capillary channel (16,64) and a test element (18). The capillary channel is in fluid communication with the test element. The test element is adapted to receive the fluid sample. The at least one tab is removably attached to the base. The capillary channel extends from the base into a portion of the tab. The break line intersects the capillary channel in which an inlet (24) to the capillary channel is exposed along the break line. The at least one tab being located perpendicular to the base, the at least one tab being adapted to bend toward the base to expose an inlet to the capillary channel. |
