Analysis system for determining an analyte in a body fluid, comprising a reusable analysis instrument (2) and a magazine (3) having a plurality of flat, disposable, integrated sample acquisition and analyzing elements, each comprising a puncturing element (23) and an analyzing element (20) and have two major surfaces. The analysis instrument (2) comprises a drive, by which the puncture movement of the puncturing element (23) is driven, to move it on a movement path in the puncturing direction during a propulsion phase and opposite to the puncturing direction after reaching a reversal point of the puncture movement during a retraction phase, a coupling unit (7), which is adapted for coupling an integrated sample acquisition and analyzing element to the drive, a measuring and evaluation unit (8) for measuring a measurement variable characteristic for determining an analyte and for deriving a desired analysis result, and a holder for receiving the magazine (3). The magazine (3) comprises a housing having a plurality of elongate chambers located neighboring one another. The chamber (9) are separated by two side walls (10) running in the longitudinal direction of the chambers (9), and have a height and length greater than the distance of two neighboring side walls (10). The chambers (9) have major sides (11 ) delimited by the side walls (10) and two long and two short minor sides (12, 13) extending between the side walls (10). The chamber (9) contain an integrated sample acquisition and analyzing element, whose puncturing element has a coupling structure (29) and is movable on the movement path of the puncture movement in the puncturing direction. The chambers (9) have an exit opening (14) on one of their minor sides (12, 13) for allowing at least partial exiting out of the chamber of the puncturing element (23) moved on the movement path. The coupling unit (7) has a coupling element (35). The chambers (9) of the magazine (3) are accessible for the coupling element (35) on one of their long minor sides (12) such that the coupling element (35) can be coupled to the coupling structure (29) of the puncturing element (23) in a formfitting way, when the puncturing element (23) is positioned in the chamber (9) of the magazine (3) and the magazine (3) is located in the holder.
