Patent number: 11002726Abstract: A test element analysis system for an analytical examination of a sample, in particular of a body fluid, is disclosed. The test element analysis system comprises an evaluation device with a test element holder for positioning a test element containing the sample and a measuring device for measuring a change in a measuring zone of the test element, the change being characteristic for an analyte. The test element holder contains contact elements with contact surfaces which allow an electrical contact between contact surfaces of the test element and the contact surfaces of the test element holder. The contact surfaces of the contact elements of the test element holder are provided with an electrically conductive surface containing metallic ruthenium.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2018Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Roche Diagnostics Operations, Inc.Inventors: Kai Hebestreit, Sylvia Saecker, Klaus Thome, Werner Heidt
