1. A separator for the taking of blood serum or blood plasma contained in a blood sample from a separating strip comprising:
- a top part, a bottom part and a joint;
wherein the top part and bottom part are linked together by the joint in a pivoting way so that the separator can be folded open and closed by pivoting; and
wherein the underside of the top part and top side of the bottom part come into contact with each other at least in some areas in said folded-closed condition; and
wherein the bottom part has an indentation for supporting the separating strip which is limited by side walls on at least two opposite sides and wherein each of the side walls has at least one nose-shaped lug to form a limit stop laterally protruding into the indentation for the separating strips inserted in the indentation, andwherein the bottom part and/or the underside of top part has at least one nose which can exert a defined local pressure on the separating strip once the top part and bottom part are folded together, thus pressing blood serum or blood plasma out of the rear end of the separating strip whenever the separating strip is moved.
