Abstract: A blood glucose test strip includes a test strip, a blood test area formed on a first end of the test strip, an electrode formed on a second end of the test strip, a data barcode formed on the test strip, and a clock code formed on the test strip. The data barcode may include a plurality of first bars with spaces separating the first bars, each first bar having a width. The clock code may comprise a fixed pattern of second bars with spaces separating the second bars, a width of each second bar set according to the width of at least one of the first bars. The clock code can be used to calibrate the data barcode to compensate for insertion speed and/or moisture content.

Abstract: Test strip device for accepting a liquid sample and forming an even fluid front across the test strip. When the sample is applied to a contacting surface, it runs down the surface where it collects between the contacting surface and a slope surface. As the sample collects, it evenly reaches fluid flow contact with an absorbent membrane. As a result, the sample forms an even fluid front across the membrane, improving the performance of the test strip device. Methods for using the device to accept a sample and to detect an analyte in the liquid sample are also provided.

Abstract: The invention consists of devices for use in assaying fluid test samples for analyte of interest wherein the samples contain or are suspected of containing cells and cellular components. The devices of the invention each include a hydrophilic cell trap for separation of the cellular fraction from the noncellular fraction of the test sample. The latter fraction migrates through porous, absorbent or bibulous membranes of the device which are impregnated with reagents in at least three separate zones comprising a dye zone, a test zone and a control zone. Formation of a distinctive visual pattern in the control zone indicates that the test was competently performed while formation or relative intensity of the visual pattern in the test zone indicates presence or absence of analyte in the test sample.
