Abstract
Analysis system and method for the analysis of a body fluid sample for an analyte contained therein are disclosed. The analysis system has a dosing station for dosing a liquid into a test element through a sample supply opening, which reacts with a reagent system present in a sample analysis channel of the test element. The analysis system also has a measurement station for measuring a measurement variable characteristic of the reaction at the measuring zone of a test element for the analytical result. The test element also includes a separate flushing liquid supply opening and a flushing liquid collection chamber which are in fluid communication to one another via a flushing liquid channel. The flushing liquid channel and the sample analysis channel differ from one another in such a manner that a liquid flowing through the flushing liquid channel does not reach the measuring zone.
