A body fluid is collected for testing for an analyte contained within the body
fluid. The fluid is collected in an apparatus including a reservoir for receiving
and collecting a flow of body fluid from a discharge end of a conduit. A capillary
test space is in fluid flow communication with the reservoir. The capillary test
space is positioned to be in contact with the fluid in the reservoir after the
fluid has accumulated to a predetermined transfer volume of fluid. The capillary
test space is sized to wick the fluid from the reservoir when the fluid contacts
the capillary test space.
