Abstract
The invention relates to an analytical test element for analysis of a liquid sample (20), containing a channel (9) which is suitable for capillary transport of the liquid sample (20) and which is provided with an inlet opening (7) for the liquid sample (20) and with an air outlet opening (8). At least one test field (17) is arranged in the channel (9), spaced apart from the inlet opening (7). The test element (1) comprises a sample application site (4) which is closed with a seal and which is designed in such a way that, when the seal is opened, the sample application site (4) and the inlet opening (7) of the channel (9) are simultaneously open to the outside environment of the test element (1). The test element (1) can then receive the liquid sample (20) inside the channel (9) via the sample application site (4) and inlet opening (7), for analysis in the test field (17). The invention also relates to a test element magazine and to a system for analysis of liquid samples with at least one test element.
