A fluid collection apparatus adapted to test a concentration of an analyte in anfluid, including a lid and a base. Further included is a spacer disposed between the lidnand the base. The spacer forms a capillary channel, which has an opening and isndesigned to collect the fluid. The capillary channel includes a reagent that reacts withnthe fluid to produce a measurable reaction. The reaction will provide a measurablenindication of the concentration of the analyte in the fluid. Coupled to the lid is a lancenthat is moveable to the base and is moveable to a position adjacent the opening of thencapillary channel. |
