An analytical test tape instrument includes an exchangeable test tape unit which comprises a test tape provided with a plurality of test elements to which body fluid can be applied. The test tape instrument also includes a tape drive that can be coupled with the test tape unit to wind the test tape so that the test elements can be successively made available at an application site. The tape drive has a direct current motor and a reduction gear unit arranged between the direct current motor and the test tape unit.

Analytical test tape instrument

A test tape unit with a flexible carrier tape that can be wound forwardly by a tape drive is provided. The carrier tape includes a plurality of analytical test fields for the application of body fluid that are each applied in an associated tape section. Each tape section has a plurality of position markers for different functional positions that can be scanned by means of a tape sensor and can thereby be individually identified by measured quantity.
