Zusammenfassung:	A test element (110) for electrochemically detecting at least one analyte in a bodily fluid is disclosed. The test element (110) comprises at least one first electrode (116) and at least one second electrode (118). The first electrode (116) is designed as a working electrode and the second electrode is designed as a counter electrode. The test element (110) comprises at least one capillary (160) capable of receiving a sample of the body fluid. The first electrode (116) and the second electrode (118) are arranged on opposing sides of the capillary (160). The first electrode (116) and the second electrode (118) are arranged such that during a capillary filling the first electrode (116) and the second electrode (118) are wetted simultaneously and at an equal rate.
