1. A microfluidic system for collecting body fluids, the system Comprising:
- a support body comprising a lancing member;
a semi-open microchannel, located on the support body such that the microchannel assists in the capillary transport of a fluid from a receiving site to a target site; and
a build-up layer coated on the support body for the fluid transport which laterally defines the microchannel in the upper region.

Abstract
The invention generally concerns a microfluidic system having a support body provided with a lancing member and a semi-open microchannel, for the capillary transport of a sample fluid from a receiving site to a target site. In order to obtain a higher aspect ratio the support body is coated with a build-up layer which laterally defines the microchannel in the upper region.
