A laser processing method includes a first step of irradiating a surface of a composite material with a laser to form a hole processing groove on the composite material by scanning first paths from an outside corresponding to an inner peripheral surface side of a through hole to be formed to an inside corresponding to a center side of the through hole to be formed, the first paths extending across a width direction of the hole processing groove; and a second step of irradiating and penetrating through the hole processing groove with the laser to form the through hole by scanning second paths from the outside to the inside after the first step, the second paths extending across the width direction of the hole processing groove. The laser used at the first step has a smaller heat input amount per unit time than the laser used at the second step.

Storage containers for storing at least one diagnostic test element including an enzyme and a stabilized coenzyme are disclosed. In addition, diagnostic products which include diagnostic test elements including an enzyme and a stabilized coenzyme, as well as analytical measuring devices which include such storage containers or diagnostic products, are also disclosed. Other aspects include, but are not limited to, unique methods, techniques, products, systems and devices involving test elements which include an enzyme and a stabilized coenzyme.

Simplified storage of at least one test element including a dry reagent layer having an enzyme and a stabilized coenzyme

A test tape cassette is disclosed that includes a cassette housing and an analytical test tape. The test tape includes a plurality of analytical test elements, a spreading fabric for applying a body fluid, and an underlying reagent layer for detecting an analyte in the body fluid. The cassette housing has an application tip that has a guide path extending longitudinally to the test tape in an arched-shape and is uncurved at right angles thereto for supporting the test tape in a kink-free manner. The guide path has an apex area with a central opening that delimits a measuring window for an optical measurement on the test elements.

Test tape cassette and analytical test tape therefor

There is disclosed a tape cassette having a reeled-up carrier tape that carries at least one type of functional elements, namely test elements and/or puncturing elements, that are arranged at a distance from each other in a tape direction. The distances in the tape direction from a functional element to the next functional element of the same type change periodically in space at a period P. Moreover, there is disclosed a method for manufacture of a tape cassette of this type.
