1. A system for the determination of components in a body fluid, comprising, in combination:

  • a longitudinally-extending, flexible test carrier having a test field, an insertion end and a handling end; and

    an evaluation apparatus having test carrier positioning means and measuring means;

    said positioning means comprising at least two holding means, the first of said at least two holding means positioning said insertion end of said test carrier against a supporting surface of said measuring means and a second of said at least two holding means positioning the handling end of said test carrier against said supporting surface of said measuring means;

    said positioning means further comprising tensioning means constructed and positioned so as to hold said test carrier in tension along its longitudinal axis against said supporting surface of said measurement means; and

    said measuring means positioned so as to evaluate a characteristic of said test field when said test carrier is positioned against said supporting surface of said measuring means.
