TEST CARRIER FOR THE ANALYTICAL DETERMINATION OF COMPONENTS OF BODY FLUIDS

摘要

The test strip (1) has a support layer (2) on which are arranged several test layers which are at least partially in contact with one another to permit fluid exchange. …Arranged side by side in this sequence on the support layer (2) are an application zone (3) for application of a sample of the body fluids, a detection zone (5) for generating a characteristic signal which can be detected for the analytical determination, which zone contains a reaction layer (11, 12), and an absorbent zone (7) with an absorbent layer of an absorbent material. …Between the application zone (3) and the absorbent zone (7) there is a capillary transport section (8) which connects the application zone (3) and the absorbent zone (7). The reaction layer (11, 12) is arranged parallel to the transport section (8) between the application zone (3) and the absorbent zone (7) in such a way that it is in liquid contact with a liquid transported in the transport section (8). ……
