Abstract

A test device for determining the concentration of at least one analyte in a sample using a element is proposed. The test device can be used particularly for glucose measurement, in particular blood glucose measurement, cholesterol measurement and/or coagulation measurement. The test device according to the invention comprises a housing with a closed state and an opened state, and a storage device for receiving at least one test element. The at least one test element is typically designed as a strip-shaped test element, and the storage device typically comprises a magazine. The magazine comprises a plurality of cavities, and the test elements are received substantially parallel to one another in the cavities. A measuring device and a dispensing device are also provided. The dispensing device comprises means for conveying the at least one test element from at least one storage position of the storage device during opening of the housing.
