Abstract:
According to one embodiment of the invention, a test strip for obtaining a test sample includes an adhesive substrate that includes a first surface and a second surface. The second surface includes a first adhesive layer adhering at least a portion of the adhesive substrate to a backing. A first handling surface is positioned proximate to a first end of the substrate. A second handling surface is positioned proximate to a second end of the substrate. The first and second handling surfaces define a contact area for collecting a test sample.
