The present invention provides a test carrier (1) for the analytical determination of a component of a body fluid with a base layer (2) and at least two planar test layers which, in the initial state of the test carrier, before carrying out the determination, are separate from one another but can be brought into contact with one another by external manipulation, wherein a first test layer (8) and a second test layer (10) are arranged on the base layer essentially next to one another but separated in the initial state by a gap, a contact element (11, 17, 18, 20) being provided which consists of a capillary-active material which is so dimensioned that it can bridge the gap (12) and which is so mounted and arranged that, in a first position, it cannot contact at least one of the test layers (8, 10) but, by external pressure, it can be brought into a second position in which it contacts both test layers in such a manner that a liquid exchange between the test layers is possible.

Test carrier assembly for the analytical determination of a component of a body fluid, comprising a base layer and at least two planar test layers which, in the initial state of the assembly, before the determination is carried out, are separate from one another but can be contacted by external manipulation, wherein a first test layer and a second test layer are arranged on the base layer essentially next to one another but separated by a gap, and a capillary-active material contact element is movable between two positions, an initial position and a contacting position, with the initial position being located so that the contact element does not contact at least one of the test layers, and the contacting position being such that upon the application of external pressure the contact element assumes the contacting position to bridge the gap and contacts both test layers to permit liquid exchange thereinbetween.
