Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A body fluid sampling device is provided. A mesh ( 120 ) may be used to guide blood or fluid to travel directly form the wound to an analyte detecting port on the cartridge ( 121 ). Thus the volume of blood or body fluid produced at the wound site irregardless of its droplet geometry can be reliable and substantially completely transported to the analyte detecting member ( 150 ) for measurement.

First claim
