Abstract

A skeleton-free functional layer of high precision which contains a wetting agent of formula I, II and/or IIIR1—CO—N(R2)—CH2—COOMe  (I)R1—CO—N(R2)—CH2—CH2—SO3Me  (II)HO2C—CH2—CH2—CH(NH—COR1)—CO2Me  (III)in which R1 is a long-chained aliphatic residue, R2 is an alkyl residue with 1 to 8 C atoms and Me represents hydrogen or a metal atom, a diagnostic test strip having this functional layer as well as processes for the production of these objects are described.
