Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for determining an analyte in a fluid sample, particularly a bodily fluid. SOLUTION: The analysis device (2) is configured so as to analyze the fluid sample after adding the fluid sample to the analysis area (4) of an examination element (5) prepared for the analysis of the fluid sample, particularly the bodily fluid, and the device determines the analyte in the fluid sample, particularly the bodily fluid using a hydrophilicity imparting device (3) which is configured so as to make a surface in the analysis area (4) hydrophilic for the production of the examination element (5).

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for acquiring the separation of pure plasma on a microlitter-scale from whole blood in a short time, and a method thereof. SOLUTION: The apparatus for separating and delivering plasma comprises an analyzing element, which comprises a first region and a second region, and a delivering unit. The separating element is placed in the apparatus so that a user can add blood to the first region. The method having two independent successive steps is conducted; when blood is added to the first region of the element, the plasma is transferred to the second region of the element, and the blood cell components are substantially completely retained in the first region of the element. The delivering unit acts substantially on the second region of the element without influencing the first region of the element so that, after the separation of the plasma, the separated plasma is discharged from the second region of the element and is delivered from an outlet of the apparatus.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for the determination an analyte in a sample of liquid, in particular, a sample of a body fluid with an analysis apparatus which is configured to analyse a sample of liquid after the latter has been applied to an analytical area of a test element prepared for an analysis of the sample of liquid and an apparatus conferring hydrophilic properties configured to confer hydkrophilic properties to a surface in the analytical area (4) for the preparation of the test element. Furthermore, the invention relates to a procedure for the determination of an analyte in a sample of liquid.
Abstract:
The invention concerns plasma separation on a microlitre scale. The method/system according to the invention is able to provide plasma in the range of several microlitres within a very short time as it is required for example in modern analyses by carrier-bound test elements. Plasma separation and plasma release is carried out in two separate consecutive steps of the method using the device according to t he invention such that haemolysis during plasma separation can be avoided despi te an accelerated procedure. The device preferably comprises a disposable unit in which the device is characterized by an economical and simple method of production.
