1. A tape cassette comprising:
- a reeled-up carrier tape that carries non-uniformly distributed test elements with detection regions for analysis of a sample of a human or animal body fluid that are arranged at a distance from each other in a tape direction, wherein the distances in the tape direction from a test element to the next test element change periodically in space at a uniform or constant period P, wherein each period P comprises a plurality of test elements, and wherein each period P includes an identical number of test elements.
