Test element for analysing a bodily fluid sample for an analyte contained therein, analysis system and method for controlling the movement of a fluid contained in a channel of a test element

摘要

The test element (3) has a narrow section (27) arranged between expansion sections (26a, 26b). The expansion sections exhibit a cross sectional surface increasing compared to the narrow section in a direction away from the narrow section. A connection channel (24) is arranged between the narrow section and an analysis function channel (16) such that an air exchange connection is formed between the narrow section and the analysis function channel to operate low pressure produced by an air flow through an air flow channel (25) on the analysis function channel. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) an analysis system comprising a test element (2) a method for controlling a movement of a fluid contained in a channel of a test element.
