Abstract: This invention relates to a non-destructive means to determine electrochemical characteristics in biosensor test strips, including first applying a cyclic oxidative and reductive electric potential onto the inspection pads connecting to the reference electrode and working electrode, on which lies a drop of enzyme reagent solution, to homogenize the electrochemical characteristics of the biosensor test strips, and then applying an inspection electric potential within a short period of time over the inspection pads connecting to the reference electrode and working electrode to measure its electrical resistance to identify any abnormal biosensor test strips if present. Afterwards, embodiments of the present invention applies a reverse electric potential, having the same time interval as the inspection electric potential, onto the inspection pads connecting to the reference electrode and working electrode to prevent degradation on mediators such as potassium ferricyanide.

Abstract: This invention discloses a biosensor test strip that comprises a substrate, on which lies a conductive layer that contains a plurality of contact pads, check pads and reaction zones, which contains a plurality of working and reference electrodes, and on which the reaction reagent is deposited. The first contact pad is connected to the working electrode, while the second contact pad is connected to the reference electrode. Furthermore, this invention discloses a biosensor test strip for multiple tests on a single strip. The biosensor test strip includes a substrate with a plurality of incisions to divide the substrate into a plurality of individual test sections.

Abstract: A biosensor test device of this disclosure includes a biosensor test strip and biosensor monitor connecting with the biosensor test strip. The biosensor test strip includes a base layer and at least one test section. The test section includes a first electrode, a second electrode, a first track, a second track, a first contact pad, a second contact pad and a reaction zone formed on a base layer. The first track is electrically connected to both the first electrode and the first contact pad. The second track is electrically connected to both the second electrode and the second contact pad. The reaction zone is coated with reagents which contact at least one of the first electrode or the second electrode.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to biosensor monitors, test strips and activation mechanisms and methods thereof. The biosensor monitor is for verifying a test strip to be used with the biosensor monitor. The monitor includes verification components located within the monitor and accessible to a test strip to be inserted into the biosensor monitor. The verification components interact with verification portions of the test strip to allow the biosensor monitor to verify the test strip before the biosensor monitor tests biological material on the test strip. A test strip and methods are also described.
