Stack of test strips and method for the production thereof
First Claim
1. A stack of test strips, comprising a plurality of individual strips which are stacked on top of each other and at least a portion of each of the plurality of test strips carries a test field for examining a body fluid sample, each test field comprising detection reagents, wherein adjacent test strips lying on top of one another are detachably adhesively bonded to each other so that the test strips can be individually removed from the stack, wherein in the stack the test field of each test strip is packed in a sealed chamber having a bottom, an adhesive that surrounds the test field, and a closure that is formed by the adjacent strip.

Abstract
A stack of test strips comprises individual test strips which are stacked over each other and carry a test field for examining a bodily fluid sample. Test strips lying one on top of the other are detachably adhesively bonded to each other so that the test strips can be individually removed from the stack, wherein the test fields are packed in chambers and adjacent test strips form the bottom and the lid of such a chamber. A method for producing such a stack of test strips is also disclosed.

17. A method for producing a stack of test strips, comprising:
-
stacking a plurality of individual strips on top of each other, wherein each of test strips includes a front side and an opposite back side and at least a portion of each of the plurality of test strips includes a test field for examining a body fluid sample on the front side thereof, each test field comprising detection reagents, wherein individual test strips which carry the test fields are adhesively bonded to an adjacent test strip to form a stack configured with the front side of the test strips which carry the test fields adhesively bonded to the back side of the adjacent test strip; and stacking of the plurality of individual test strips encloses the test fields in sealed chambers each having a bottom, an adhesive that surrounds the test field, and a closure that is formed by the adjacent strip. - View Dependent Claims (18)
