Abstract

A method for determining an analyte in a water sample with a mobile water analyzing system having a basic unit and a test element insertable in the basic unit, the method comprising providing the test element and the basic unit. The test element is inserted into a test element receptacle of the basic unit. The water sample is transported forward from an inlet opening to a measuring section of the test element. A first analyzing of the water sample is performed in the measuring section with an analyzer of the basic unit. The water sample is transported forward from the measuring section to the first reagent section of the test element. The water sample is transported backward from the first reagent section to the measuring section of the test element. A second analyzing of the water sample is performed in the measuring section with the analyzer of the basic unit.
