The fluid sampling device can include a test strip housing for receiving a test strip therein.

The test strip housing is configured to allow the second end of the test strip to be received within an analysis device to facilitate analysis of the fluid sample.

The ribbon forceps is used to grip a thin precut test ribbon on either the front or back side of an artificial crown being placed.

Extending from an end of the test strip housing is a blunt canula that can be inserted into the sample port to obtain the fluid sample and communicate the fluid sample to the test strip.

This allows for the test strip holder to be inserted into the device in a simple way and a sample can be prepared in the mixing chamber of the device.

A supply of test strips for bodily fluid sampling are provided on a tape such that advancing the tape serves.to advance the test strips.

One end of the test strips is attached to the tape, and their free end is allowed to extend away from the tape for use.

The carrier tape includes a test pad for analyzing the fluid.

Extending from an end of the test strip housing is a blunt canula that can be inserted into the sample port to obtain the fluid sample and communicate the fluid sample to the test strip.

The tape is folded around the test pad to form an airtight package (66).

A strip carrier (12) slidable in the housing cavity includes a carrier body (16) having a strip channel (19) slidably receiving a test strip (20) in an insertion direction (A).

The invention relates to a ribbon for a ribbon saw, a ribbon saw with an inventive ribbon and individual elements (1) of an inventive ribbon for a saw.
