Device for assaying analytes in bodily fluids
First Claim
1. A device for determining the presence and/or quantity of one or more analytes in a sample of human body fluid, comprising:
- a container for receiving a sample of body fluid, with an interior that is delimited by a base and a wall,at least one test strip with an absorbent section and with reagents for determining the presence and/or quantity of one or more analytes in the sample of body fluid, the test strip secured within the containers at the wallan elongate sampling element with a first and a second end, has an absorbent sampler at one of the first and second ends that takes up the sample of body fluid, and wherein said absorbent sample is insertable into the container for transferring the sample of body fluid into the container,wherein the container conveys the sample of body fluid from the sampler, by compression thereof in the container, to the at least one test strip,wherein the elongate sampling element includes an indicator for indication of the presence of the liquid sample of sufficient quantity for the carrying out of the assay for determining the presence of the one or more analytes in the sample.

Abstract
A device for determining the presence and/or quantity of one or more analytes in a sample of human body fluid has a container for receiving a sample of body fluid, with an interior that is delimited by a base and by a circumferential surface. It further comprises at least one test strip and a holding element for receiving and holding the one or more test strips. The holding element is designed such that it has a shape corresponding and adapted to the peripheral circumferential surface of the container. The device further comprises an elongate sampling element having an absorbent sampler that takes up the sample of body fluid and by means of which the sample of body fluid is transferred into the container. The sampling element can include an indicator strip for determining whether the amount of liquid sample sufficient for carrying out an assay.
