Abstract
The invention relates to a multiple-use device (), wherein a fluid sample, in particular a blood sample, may enter a measuring chamber () of the device () via an inlet (), flow through the measuring chamber () and leave the measuring chamber () via an outlet (). The device () comprises an inner wall surface () defining an outer limit of the measuring chamber () The inner wall surface () comprises a surface structure () which is adapted to control a propagation of a flow front () of the fluid sample () in a direction (x) while the fluid sample () enters into the measuring chamber () via the inlet (), while the fluid sample () flows through the measuring chamber (), and while the fluid sample () leaves the measuring chamber () via the outlet (). The shape of the surface structure () may be selected depending on a flow speed of the flow front () of the fluid sample (), wherein the flow speed may be applied by a difference in pressure between the inlet () and the outlet () of the measuring chamber ().
