Abstract
Body fluid sampling device comprising a sampling element having a fluid pathway () for receiving body fluid, at least a portion of the fluid pathway is open to the environment and further comprising a fluid receiving means () being spaced from the fluid pathway so that fluid in the pathway will not contact the fluid receiving means initially. The fluid receiving means has two or more test zones () for performing analytical reactions. Fluid from the channel is contacted with the fluid receiving means either by bringing the fluid receiving means and the fluid into mechanical contact or by electrically transporting fluid from the channel onto the fluid receiving means.
