Devices for producing a tape product having diagnostic aids

A device for producing an analysis tape for fluid samples, the device comprising:

• a laminate drive for supplying a laminate tape having a laminate carrier tape and at least one diagnostic functional layer to a labeling device;
• a cutting device for cutting the laminate tape, wherein the cutting device cuts the diagnostic functional layer so that a diagnostic auxiliary label arises;
• at least one vacuum roller, wherein the device transfers the diagnostic auxiliary label to the vacuum roller;
• and
• a carrier drive for supplying a carrier tape to the labeling device, wherein the carrier drive and the vacuum roller interact so that the diagnostic auxiliary label is transferred from the vacuum roller to the carrier tape,
• wherein the device cuts the diagnostic functional layer so that a free end of the diagnostic functional layer is lifted off from the laminate carrier tape by guiding the laminate carrier tape around a cutting edge with a small radius, and wherein the diagnostic functional layer is cut at a predetermined distance from the lifted off free end by means of a cutting device.
