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.
