Abstract:
1. Analytical test element comprising: an inert cover, an inert carrier having a first surface, a detection element being formed to permit liquid penetration therein and including at least one reagent contained in the detection element, the detection element including a second surface facing the first surface, and a capillary channel including a sample opening and a vent opening and extends in a direction of capillary transport from the sample opening to at least an edge of the detection element that is nearest to the vent opening, wherein the capillary channel is formed by the inert carrier, the detection element, and the inert cover, the cover and the detection element being mounted end to end in such a way that the capillary channel extends without interruption from the sample application opening to the vent opening and a notch is positioned at an edge of the test element forming the sample opening so that a surface opposite to the notch is exposed.
