Abstract
The invention concerns a system for analyzing a body fluid comprising a collecting element which receives the body fluid in a reservoir, a test element designed to detect an analyte in the body fluid, a transfer device for making a fluidic connection between the collecting element and the test element, and a detection unit which detects an analyte-specific measurement signal on the test element during a measurement interval. According to the invention it is proposed that the transfer device always brings the test element into contact with the body fluid located in the reservoir during the measurement interval and that the transfer device is configured to physically separate the test element and the collecting element from one another after the measurement interval.
