Abstract: A test tape for analyzing body fluids is provided comprising a flexible carrier tape and a plurality of test fields arranged spaced apart thereon for the detection of an analyte in the body fluid. The carrier tape is provided with indicator areas to register the distance and/or determine the position of the test tape or its components during tape transport.

Abstract: The present invention concerns embodiments of a system for determining the concentration of an analyte in a body fluid which comprises an analytical test element and an instrument separate therefrom, wherein at least a part of the electrical components of the system are comprised of polymer electronics. Embodiments of the analytical test element comprise an area with reagent chemistry for the detection of an analyte and a transponder configured for wireless transmission of lot-specific data and/or measured values. The instrument has a reading module configured for wireless transmission of data, or data and energy, to the test element and an evaluation unit for evaluating the data or measured values received by the transponder.
