Definitions

  • the present invention relates to analytical test elements for determining the concentration of a body fluid. Furthermore, the invention relates to methods for producing such analytical test elements.
  • carrier-bound rapid tests have become established in the specialized laboratories, especially for use outside of fixed laboratories. Based on a specially developed dry chemistry such carrier-bound rapid tests are despite the often complex reactions involving sensitive reagents, simple and straightforward, even by laymen perform.
  • carrier-bound rapid tests are test strips for the determination of the blood glucose content in diabetics.
  • Carrier rapid test analytical test elements typically include a point of application on which the body fluid to be tested is applied and a detection area in which the analyte sought is detected. These are usually so-called on-top test strips or so-called capillary test strips.
  • the application site is above the detection area, possibly separated from each other by a fleece or the like.
  • the detection area is along the longitudinal axis of the Applied test strip offset to the application site.
  • the test strip can remain in one position during the entire concentration determination and does not have to be moved to a measuring position after the sample has been applied.

  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and the problems mentioned in the introduction. It is intended to provide a high-volume cost-effectively producible diagnostic test element in which the application location is spaced from the detection area. Once applied to the test element body fluid should adhere to the test element to avoid contamination of the environment. On the other hand, the spacing from the point of application to the detection area requires sample transport. To ensure this sample transport, a good wettability of the test element and transmission of body fluid is necessary.

This is important, for example, if the test strips are remagazine after use in the same chambers of the reservoir in which they were stored before use.
