Abstract: Analyte sensor comprises a substrate having an upper surface including a first portion and a second exposed portion, an electrode layer disposed on the first portion and having an elongate body comprising a proximal end and a distal end, the electrode layer including an active working electrode area having a surface area of between 0.15 mm2 to 0.25 mm2, at least one sensing spot with at least one analyte responsive enzyme disposed on the active working electrode area. Additional analyte sensors are disclosed.

Abstract: Analyte sensors are being increasingly employed for monitoring various analytes in vivo. Analyte sensors may feature enhancements to address signals obtained from interferent species. Some analyte sensors may comprise a working electrode having sensing portion and an exposed electrode portion, wherein the sensing portion comprises an active area having an analyte-responsive enzyme disposed thereupon and the exposed electrode portion comprises no active area. The exposed electrode portion and the sensing portion may be present in a ratio of and about 1:10 to about 10:1.
