Process for the production of an analysis test strip
First Claim
1. A process for the production of an analysis test strip having an elongated carrier with at least one test field fixed thereon, the process comprising:
- providing a band of carrier material sufficient for a plurality of test strips;
batchwise producing test field material in an amount sufficient for the plurality of test strips and obtaining batch specific information for the quantitative evaluation of said test field material;
in a chronologically separate step, fixing the test field material in the form of at least one narrow band onto a parallel-running substantially wider band of carrier material having a longitudinal axis and two longitudinal edges;
cutting the carrier band, with the test field material band fixed thereon, transversely to the longitudinal axis thereof and into a plurality of test strips; and
, prior to the cutting step and after obtaining said batch-specific information, applying a bar code running parallel to the longitudinal edges of the carrier band including said batch-specific information.

Abstract
An analysis test strip and a process for the production of analysis test strips with a longitudinal carrier upon which is fixed at least one test field. The test field material is produced batchwise in an amount sufficient for a plurality of test strips, and thereafter, in a chronologically separate working step, is continuously fixed in the form of at least one band onto a parallel-running substantially wider band of test strip carrier material. The band as a whole is cut up transversely to its longitudinal direction into a plurality of test strips. Prior to the cutting up, a bar code is applied to the carrier band running parallel to the edges thereof of such high information density that it is suitable as a store of batch-specific information necessary for the quantitative evaluation of the reaction which has previously been obtained by investigation of the test field material of one batch.
