  • Patent number: 9546973
    Abstract: Measurement with a test strip having two working electrodes (12, 14), using the current transient (402, 404) for each working electrode measured at a predetermined durational offset (Tpred1, Tpred2) from a peak (408, 410) of the current transient.

  • Publication number: 20130199942
    Abstract: An electrochemical-based analytical test strip (“EBAT”) for the determination of an analyte in a bodily fluid sample includes an electrically insulating substrate layer with a distal end and a patterned conductor layer that is disposed over the electrically-insulating substrate layer and has a working electrode (“WE”) and a counter/reference electrode (“C/RE”). The EBAT also includes a patterned insulation layer with an electrode exposure window configured to expose a WE exposed portion and a C/RE exposed portion, an enzymatic reagent layer; and a patterned spacer layer. The patterned insulation layer and the patterned spacer layer define a sample receiving chamber with a sample-receiving opening (“SRO”) at the distal end of the electrically insulating substrate layer and that extends across the WE exposed portion and the C/RE exposed portion. Furthermore, the enzymatic reagent layer is disposed over the WE and C/RE exposed portions and extends no more than 400 ?m toward the SRO.
