Abstract: The invention relates to a device for drawing a sample and analyzing body fluids, and to a corresponding method. The device comprises a handle (1), which accommodates a pneumatic drive device, and a sensor unit (2) that contains a microneedle (3) on an elastic membrane (4) and at least one sensor system (5). The handle (1) and the sensor unit are detachably connected to one another, and the pneumatic drive device interacts with the sensor unit (2) in such a manner that the drive device exerts pressure onto the elastic membrane (4) so that the microneedle (3) pierces the surface of the skin in order to draw body fluid. During the ensuing decreasing pressure, the elastic membrane (4) returns to its original shape, and body fluid is suctioned, due to the resulting underpressure, from the location of piercing and into the interior of the sensor unit (2) to the at least one sensor system (5).
